Blessed Mhlanga Arrested For Interviewing Blessed Geza
2 weeks agoMon, 24 Feb 2025 13:48:21 GMT
Alpha Media Holdings’ senior reporter, Blessed Mhlanga, handed himself over to the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) Law and Order division at Harare Central Police Station on Monday morning. He was promptly arrested and charged.
Last week, ZRP spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi appealed to the public for help in locating Mhlanga, who was wanted for violating a section of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act.
Mhlanga said on Friday he could not report to the police due to illness.
On Monday, the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) confirmed that Mhlanga had been arrested and charged with two counts of violating Section 164 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act for allegedly transmitting data messages that incite violence. Said ZLHR:
The charge emanates from some statements, which were allegedly uttered by Blessing Geza, a liberation war veteran and a ZANU PF political party central committee member on 27 January 2025 and on 11 February 2025.
Mhlanga, who works for HStv, was interrogated by ZRP officers on Monday 24 February 2025 about the broadcaster’s operations and press conferences allegedly addressed by Geza.
Mhlanga, who is represented by Chris Mhike of [the ZLHR], is set to be detained overnight at Harare Central Police Station and is expected to appear in court on Tuesday.

If you want to see how shallow minded Zimbabweans are, just read the comments on Pindula.Stu.pidity abounds it has never been a criminal offence to interview a person who is opposed to the president.Neither is it criminal to be employed as a journalist.We have seen international journalists venturing into war zones.Yes it's a risk occupation but Blessed Mhlanga is brave like his father who fought to liberate the people of Zimbabwe and became a captain in the Zimbabwe National Army.
So cowards need not comment if they can't stand the heat.Some of your parents and relatves were sellout.

A few Zimbabweans who are brave enough to tell the plain truth usually face uncertainty and compromised situations bcz perpetrators of economic hardships never want to be told as it is, Intimidation and corruption has slowly became an acceptable way of life in Zim, risking is to unfold the history of events you become an antagonist

If only citizens had done something, indeed ANYTHING, to get rid of the murderous zpf rot, DECADES AGO, things like this wouldn't be happening! ****ly, they didn't, and now the real crackdown is on! Still, what citizens were **** enough to allow, since the '80s, is only going to get worse now!

It is good that he has handed himself over to Lusiffa.Geza has opened Pandora's box , Muhlanga is only the face of a compromised system but must be really prepared to find some stinking stuff.shinga zvopera.

Bail anopiwa straight away. One who surrenders himself to Police is a good candidate for bail plus he has been doing so on a number of times. He should be very careful of what he eats while in police custody

Its not about being careful of what he eats, the gestapo can forcibly inject him with carcinogenic substances. Do you really think they care if they feel threatened. What happened to Takudzwa ngadziore and Tawanda Muchehiwa. They are ruthless

Blessed Mhlanga was just doing his duties and I don't see anything wrong with what he did, he works for a licensed media house which operates legally in Zimbabwe and for the police to arrest him on such frivolous charges is very unbecoming, just because he interviewed Geza does not mean he should be arrested. Dai Geza akaitwa interviewed ku Zbc vaiita sei ,there is no longer freedom of speech, expression as you long as you say anything against them.
