Journalist Blessing Mhlanga Remains in Custody as Bail Ruling Deferred Prominent journalist Blessing Mhlanga will spend a second night in custody after a magistrate deferred the ruling on his bail application to Thursday, February 27, 2025. Media mogul Trevor Ncube expressed his frustration over Mhlanga’s detention, stating that he is being unfairly punished for his journalistic work. Mhlanga's arrest follows his interview with activist Blessed Geza, who called for President Mnangagwa’s resignation, and another discussion with Jealousy Mawarire regarding alleged irregularities at POSB. According to Ncube, these interviews appear to have angered powerful individuals, leading to Mhlanga’s incarceration despite his actions being protected under the constitution.
