Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>ZANU PF Mashonaland West Province has recommended the expulsion of Blessed \u201cBombshell\u201d Geza, a war veteran and Central Committee member, for allegedly undermining and threatening President Emmerson Mnangagwa.<\/p>\n

The decision was made during a meeting held at the North Court in Zvimba East Constituency on February 3rd, attended by thousands of party supporters.<\/p>\n

ZANU PF Politburo member and Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister, Ziyambi Ziyambi, said that the recommendation was based on Geza\u2019s statements, which were seen as abusing the party\u2019s name. Said Ziyambi (via The Herald):<\/p>\n

Individuals are allowed to democratically air their grievances but using the name of the party and one\u2019s position to attack our leadership is uncalled for.<\/p>\n

The attack on President Mnangagwa by Cde Geza shows that he is not well versed with the party\u2019s constitution which calls for members to respect their leaders.<\/p>\n

We cannot fold our hands and let Cde Geza go haywire. If he wanted to denounce the President, he should have waited for the party\u2019s Congress slated for 2027, where any member is allowed to challenge the sitting First Secretary and President as we elect a new leader and presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

Our party\u2019s constitution, and specifically Article 3, requires us to be honest and loyal to ZANU PF and its leaders who were elected by the masses.<\/p>\n

Ziyambi asserted that ZANU PF Mashonaland West Province disassociates itself from Geza\u2019s comments and supports the decision to extend Mnangagwa\u2019s second term by two years. He said:<\/p>\n

Nobody in Mashonaland West is supporting his shenanigans, as a province, we solidly stand firm behind the resolution to extend the President\u2019s second term by two years so that he realises his Vision 2030.<\/p>\n

We have since resolved to recommend the expulsion of Cde Geza, and the National Chairman, Cde Oppah Muchinguri, is seized with our decision. It now lies with the National Disciplinary Committee.<\/p>\n

Geza has been accused of boycotting the Provincial Co-ordinating Committee (PCC), Provincial Executive Committee (PEC), and Central Committee meetings.<\/p>\n

Provincial chairperson, Mary Mliswa-Chikoka, said that Geza\u2019s comments were considered treasonous, which led to the decision to expel him.<\/p>\n

Marian Chombo, a ZANU PF central committee member and Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution, as well as a member of the National Disciplinary Committee, urged Geza to publicly retract his comments and apologise before the committee takes action against him.<\/p>\n
