War veteran and outspoken political activist Blessed Runesu Geza has told Zimbabweans that he may be nearing the end of his life. In a deeply emotional letter released in the early hours of Thursday, February 6, 2026, Geza spoke openly about pain, illness, sacrifice and fear that he may not live to see political change in Zimbabwe.
Writing shortly after 5 AM Central Africa Time, Geza suggested that a long and private battle with cancer was taking its toll. The message was shared from exile and framed as a farewell to Zimbabweans, urging them not to abandon the struggle he helped ignite in 2025.
“I Might Not See The New Zimbabwe”
Geza rose to prominence in 2025 after a series of explosive social media broadcasts accusing President Emmerson Mnangagwa and senior allies of large-scale corruption. Those broadcasts drew national attention and a swift security response.
After police prepared treason charges, Geza fled to South Africa. His wife, Roseline Tawengwa, was detained and questioned for several hours, while his home in Sanyati was petrol-bombed.
In his letter, Geza confirmed that he had been fighting cancer during this period.
“I am in pain that I might not see the new Zimbabwe after Emmerson, but I take solace in the hope that you will continue the faith for a free and prosperous nation,” Geza wrote.
He reflected on joining the liberation struggle at a young age and the cost paid by those who fought alongside him.
“We fought fierce battles, and the memories of our dear comrades who fell to the enemy’s guns and bombs still haunt us. But this did not deter us; it fortified our resolve.”
Anger Over Post-2017 Politics
Geza revisited the November 2017 removal of former president Robert Mugabe, saying he had since apologised for his role in that process. He said hopes for reform were quickly dashed.
“What followed has been a nightmare. Mnangagwa has fared even worse, completely neglecting the values we fought for,” he wrote.
He accused senior political and business figures of capturing the State.
“We are witnessing unprecedented levels of corruption, with Emmerson, his sons, and a select few like Kuda Tagwirei, Wicknell Chivhayo, and Scott Sakupwanya pillaging our nation.”
Geza also referenced internal ruling party dynamics and attempts to extend Mnangagwa’s rule, warning that Zimbabwe was being “robbed dry”.
Full Text Of Blessed Geza’s Letter
“Fellow Zimbabweans,
I come to you at this unusual hour, my heart heavy with sorrow.
I am in pain that I might not see the new Zimbabwe after Emmerson, but I take solace in the hope that you will continue the faith for a free and prosperous nation – the Zimbabwe I fiercely fought for.
I have walked a difficult path, one filled with pain and sacrifice. Like many of you, I joined this struggle at a tender age.
We fought fierce battles, and the memories of our dear comrades who fell to the enemy’s guns and bombs still haunt us.
But this did not deter us; it fortified our resolve.
Each of us hoped to witness a better Zimbabwe, one where every dream counted.
The colonial system was oppressively discriminatory – socially, economically, and politically.
The oppressors stole our dignity, our humanity, and our livelihoods.
We bled to reclaim what was rightfully ours: our dignity, identity, and humanity.
I salute all the heroes of our liberation struggle, both alive and departed.
To those who gave their lives, let me assure you: you did not die in vain. Your aspirations will soon be realised.
When we recognised that Mugabe had betrayed the covenant forged in our battle for this country, we made the decision to remove him in November 2017, filled with hope for a government that would correct those wrongs.
I have since apologised for my role in that removal.
Yet what followed has been a nightmare. Mnangagwa has fared even worse, completely neglecting the values we fought for.
As Vice President Constantino Chiwenga said, we fought for a country where everyone has a place at the table.
Yet today, we witness unprecedented levels of corruption.
The Zviganandas have captured the State. They are robbing this country dry.
They are stealing from you, from your children, and from your future.
Last year, I exposed their corrupt activities and called for collective action to remove Emmerson from power.
This will never happen. I vow to fight this from the grave. Vana Ziyambi muchamhanya chete (Ziyambi’s people will just keep running).
As I reflect on my journey, my heart aches not from despair, but from overwhelming hope that you will unite.
As I speak to you now, I feel my energy sapping; I might not be here tomorrow, next week, or next month.
Do not let fear engulf you; let it fuel your resolve.
We have fought too hard and lost too much to turn back now.
May God bless you. May God bless Zimbabwe.”
Final Message To Zimbabweans
Geza ended the letter by saying he believed the struggle would continue even after his death.
“I believe in you, in your strength, and your capacity for change,” he wrote.
