Blessed Mhlanga Denied Bail, Remanded In Custody To 14 March

Alpha Media Holdings journalist Blessed Mhlanga was denied bail on Friday, 28 February, by Harare Magistrate Farai Gwatima, who remanded him in custody until 14 March.

In denying bail, Gwatima said that releasing Mhlanga could lead to unrest and undermine peace and security in the nation. She said:

The release of the accused would put the nation in unrest and undermine peace and security.

Mhlanga is facing charges under Section 164 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act for allegedly transmitting messages that incite violence.

The charges stem from interviews Mhlanga conducted with Blessed Geza, a liberation war veteran and ZANU PF central committee member, on January 27 and February 11, 2025.

Mhlanga had initially appeared in court on Tuesday, where Magistrate Gwatima remanded him in custody pending a ruling on his bail application.

The ruling, originally scheduled for Thursday, was postponed to Friday due to the magistrate’s unavailability as she was attending a funeral.

Cde Geza should have procured arms and trained faceless terrorists and I would happily had joined the force. With an effective guerilla force the first victim would be the so called magistrate and her family then all zanu pf loyalists like Tino Machakaire that Tungwarara boy etc etc. Only brutal acts of banditry and terrorism against zanu pf elites can liberate this country from this new dispensation of cruel thugs

He is firing workers who are 350 years old and those who do not go to work. Sound familiar? You have selective hearing.

The justice system in Zimbabwe is a joke. Journalists shouldn't be arrested for doing their job. It seems the Constitution of Zimbabwe is useless and doesn't protect the rights of the citizens.

but my qstn is blessing was at work and obviously his bosses the editor etc gave a go ahead to broadcast that content.so shouldn't the employer be accountable cz he authorized the content.editors,producers etc l stand to be corrected

Zorro · 2 weeks ago

You're right. There's no way Blessing was going to do this interview without approval from his boss. Blessing is the fall guy here.

Shame, saka apa chodiwa ku reverser what was said by Geza in a more journalistic way asi damage has already been done, you can't, chase after an arrow that's released from its bow unless it hits its 🎯, I know we all want to be heroes but we should do it for strong reasons
