For
since
the
March
2002
stolen
presidential
election
and
the
2000
June
Parliamentary
elections
before
it,
Zimbabwe
has
not
known
any
free,
fair,
and
credible
elections.
The
Zimbabwe
Vigil
has,
therefore,
vowed
to
continue
fighting
for
democracy
in
Zimbabwe
as
reflected
by
a
free,
fair,
and
credible
election.
The
Vigil’s
position
is
like
water
and
oil
when
compared
to
the
recent
Geza
Movement
call
for
the
replacement
of
ZANU
PF’s
Mnangagwa
by
his
Vice,
Chiwenga.
It
is
ZANU
PF
that
messed
up
Zimbabwe’s
economy
and
butchered
its
budding
democracy
and
to
have
a
call
to
arms,
seeking
to
replace
ZANUPF
by
itself,
does
not
make
any
sense
at
all.
Vigil
activists
laughed
at
the
idea
that
Zimbabwe’s
populace
would
rise
en
masse
in
support
of
the
Geza
Movement.
If
anything,
they
rightly
stayed
away
from
the
31
March
2025
failed
Geza
street
demonstration. Talking
about
the
31
March
2025,
activists
wondered
where
Geza
and
his
comrades
were
as
there
was
notably
no
leadership,
strategy,
or
direction
at
the
demo. Rumour
has
it
that
Cde
Geza
and
his
friends
were
hiding
in
South
Africa,
whilst
calling
upon
poor
civilians
to
risk
their
lives
by
going
on
the
streets
on
their
behalf.
It
is
also
strange
that
Cde
Geza
had
to
suspend
demonstrations
after
the
‘stay
away’,
citing
intelligence
suggesting
plans
by
Sean
Mnangagwa
to
bomb
some
targets
and
blame
the
bombings
on
Cde
Geza.
He
claimed
this
was
calculated
to
label
him
a
terrorist.
This
is
despite
claiming
responsibility
for
the
3
or
4
car
bombings
that
happened
in
Harare
in
the
run-up
to
the
31/03/2025
demo.Cde
Geza
should
know
from
now
on
that
whatever
terror
activity
happens
in
Zimbabwe,
going
forward,
will
be
blamed
on
him
and
his
associates.
Vigil
activists
called
for
unity
against
ED’s
efforts
to
remove
term
limits
in
the
country’s
constitution
to
afford
him
unlimited
rule,
his
2030
agenda
(plunder
of
national
resources
and
unbridled
corruption).
They
also
called
for
ZANU
PF
to
go,
to
save
Zimbabwe.

of
the
need

have
an
organisation
on
the
ground
in
Zimbabwe

reflected
the
Vigil’s
mission
statement
in
a
practical
way.
