The unconfirmed news of the death of political activist Blessed Runesu Geza circulating on social media has triggered speculation of staging, with many questioning the probability of its truth.
As of publication, there has been no official confirmation, with an online platform saying an unnamed source said that Geza died in South Africa after a period of illness.
The intrigue on social media is centered on the circumstances surrounding the timing of the death. Only hours before news of his alleged demise began circulating, Geza released a lucid and emotionally charged farewell-style message, in which he spoke coherently about his health, political struggle, and the possibility of not surviving much longer.

Cde Blessed “Bombshell” Geza became a social media sensation in 2025 when he announced a push to remove incumbent president Emmerson Mnangagwa. But his popularity soon waned and he became a figure for caricature and ridicule when his planned march flopped.
Until independent verification emerges, Zim Now is treating the situation as fluid and unresolved.
