President Mnangagwa and His Family Flee Zimbabwe Amidst Geza Revolution Uprising, Claiming to Be at Their Farm
Harare, Zimbabwe — In a dramatic turn of events, President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his family have allegedly fled Zimbabwe following the Geza Revolution protests that shook the nation on March 31. Despite growing speculation that the First Family has sought refuge abroad, official government statements insist that Mnangagwa is merely “resting at Sherwood Farm” in Kwekwe.
The Geza Revolution Sparks Panic in Leadership
The Geza Revolution, a mass uprising fueled by widespread frustration over corruption, economic collapse, and political oppression, drew thousands of Zimbabweans into the streets on March 31. Protesters, inspired by the call for change and the fight against poverty and injustice, took to major cities such as Harare, Bulawayo, and Mutare, demanding Mnangagwa’s resignation.
The protests quickly spiraled out of control, with police and security forces unable to contain the crowds. Demonstrators clashed with law enforcement, and government buildings were reportedly targeted in what some are calling the biggest anti-government movement since 2017.
Mnangagwa’s Disappearance Raises Questions
As the protests gained momentum, Mnangagwa reportedly vanished from public view. While government officials maintain that the President is overseeing agricultural projects at his farm, sources within security circles suggest that Mnangagwa and his family fled Zimbabwe just hours after intelligence reports indicated that the protests were escalating beyond control.
“The President was advised that the situation could spiral out of control, so he left to avoid a possible coup or violent backlash,” said a senior security official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Family Flees to Safety
Reports indicate that First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa and their sons, Sean and Emmerson Jr., were whisked out of the country to an undisclosed location, with Dubai and Singapore being the most likely destinations. Mnangagwa, known for maintaining ties in the UAE, is believed to have sought sanctuary there to avoid facing the wrath of angry Zimbabweans.
Government’s Cover-Up?
To maintain a sense of control and avoid panic, the Office of the President released a statement claiming:
"President Mnangagwa is taking time off to focus on agricultural productivity at Sherwood Farm while keeping a close eye on national developments."
However, opposition leaders and civil society groups are not buying this narrative.
Chamisa Calls Out Mnangagwa
Nelson Chamisa, leader of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), dismissed the government’s statement, calling it a blatant lie.
"The people are not fools. Mnangagwa has fled because he knows the tide has turned. The Geza Revolution is a cry for freedom, and no amount of lies can stop this wave of change," Chamisa declared.
Security Forces in Disarray
With Mnangagwa’s alleged departure, Zimbabwe’s security apparatus is said to be in disarray. The Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) has distanced itself from the chaos, leaving the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) to manage the volatile situation alone. However, police officers have struggled to contain the unrest as protests spread across urban and rural areas.
What is the Geza Revolution?
The Geza Revolution is a grassroots movement initiated by young Zimbabweans who are fed up with economic decline, lack of job opportunities, and rampant corruption. The name “Geza” (meaning “cleanse” in Shona) symbolizes the desire to purge the system of corrupt leadership and bring in new democratic governance.
International Community on High Alert
The international community, including SADC and the African Union, is closely monitoring the developments. If reports of Mnangagwa’s escape prove true, this could lead to a regional diplomatic crisis and potential interventions to stabilize the situation.
What’s Next for Zimbabwe?
With Mnangagwa reportedly out of the country and public frustration reaching new heights, Zimbabwe stands on the brink of a major political transition. As the Geza Revolution gains momentum, the nation watches anxiously to see if this movement will finally bring about the change that Zimbabweans have long been yearning for.
