As expected, journalist Blessed Mhlanga, who dared interview Blessed Geza a war veteran advocating for President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s removal, was denied bail by the High Court.
In the Second Republic, bail is no constitutional right but a privilege reserved for allies of President Ruka Chivende.
Indeed, President Emmerson Mnangagwa has proven himself to be “the army, the police, and the judiciary.”
After police summoned Mhlanga repeatedly, scrambling to invent a charge, Deputy Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, George Charamba casually revealed he’d “engaged” Police Commissioner-General Stephen Mutamba about the arrest.
Having failed to cage the wanted war veteran Blessed Geza, who boasted that Ruka Chivende knows his whereabouts the state settled for the next best Blessed.
Mhlanga, it seems, must atone for Geza’s sins.
The outcome was preordained, not even the High Court would dare grant him bail.
Under President Ruka Chivende, corrupt kingpins like Obadiah Moyo, Wicknell Chivhayo, and Kudakwashe Tagwirei roam free, while critics rot in remand.
Job Sikhala, Makomborero Haruzivishe, Jameson Timba, Avondale 78’s Jacob Ngarivhume, and a slew of opposition figures and civil society leaders can attest: bail is a perk reserved for loyalists of Trabablas.
