Zimbabweans on social media have mercilessly ridiculed expelled Zanu-PF member Blessed Geza, dismissing his recent political outbursts as nothing more than attention-seeking theatrics.

The backlash comes after Geza held a press conference on Tuesday calling for the impeachment of President Emmerson Mnangagwa—a move widely dismissed as laughable by critics and ordinary citizens alike.

Geza, who was expelled from Zanu-PF last month, has increasingly turned to social media to voice his grievances, leading many to label him a "political content creator" rather than a serious opposition figure.

His latest stunt, where he demanded Parliament remove President Mnangagwa, was met with derision, with netizens suggesting he is more focused on growing his online following than offering meaningful political solutions.

On X (formerly Twitter), Zimbabweans wasted no time in tearing into Geza’s latest performance.

"Next, he’ll be asking us to ‘smash the like button’ and ‘hit subscribe’ for more impeachment content. This isn’t activism—it’s influencer politics. He’s chasing clout, not change ," quipped @ComradeZim, a popular political commentator. 

Another user, @RealTalkZim, added: "Geza is Zimbabwe’s first full-time political YouTuber. His manifesto? More views. His strategy? Controversy. His impact? Zero."

Even critics of the Government joined in the mockery, with @ZimAnalyst tweeting: "Impeachment requires substance, not slogans. Geza’s press conferences are just audition tapes for his monetized YouTube channel."

Political analysts were equally scathing, noting that Geza’s expulsion from Zanu-PF left him without a political base, forcing him to rely on social media antics for relevance.

"Geza is a classic case of a politician who lost his platform and is now trying to reinvent himself as an online provocateur. But Zimbabweans aren’t fooled—they can tell the difference between real opposition leaders and social media entertainers," said Dr. Tinashe Masawi, a Harare-based political scientist. 

Others pointed out that Geza’s impeachment call was particularly absurd given ZANU PF overwhelming parliamentary majority.

"Does he even understand how Parliament works? Zanu-PF holds a two-thirds majority. Geza’s ‘impeachment’ is just another clickbait headline" asked @Proudly_Zimbabwe. 

Ordinary Zimbabweans also weighed in, with many dismissing Geza as a political joke.

"He used to be in ZANU PF, now he’s just a guy with a microphone and a YouTube dream. We have real problems—high prices, unemployment—and he’s out here making comedy press statements," said Tonderai Moyo, a Harare street vendor. 

Another citizen, Linda Chikwava, added: "If Geza put half the effort into actual politics that he puts into viral moments, he might be taken seriously. But right now, he is just Zimbabwe’s answer to a failed reality TV star."

As hashtags like #GezaTheComedian and #PoliticalContentCreator trended, it became clear that Geza’s latest stunt had backfired spectacularly.

Rather than rallying support, he cemented his reputation as a political lightweight more interested in online engagement than genuine leadership.
