Speaking to ZBC News, President Emmerson Mnangagwa assured the people of the city of Bulawayo that he does not hold them responsible for the explosion which occured at White City Stadium. The president was not injured but several senior government officials were injured. Sepaking to ZBC News Mnangagwa said,
…I don’t think the evil people are part of Bulawayo, the people must come from elsewhere. The people from Bulawayo were happy to see me and I was happy to see them. The people of Bulawayo, I love them and they love me; it’s people outside Bulawayo I can assure you. These are my mortal enemies and the attempts have been so many. It’s not the first attempt of my life. It does not scare me, I’m used to it. Six times my office has been broken into; cyanide was put in my offices so many times. I will continue. When they tried to poison me I survived, they tried poisoning me through my office, I survived. The same methods, I survived… It exploded inches away from me but it is not my time…

This is absolutely nonsense as our new president is preaching the good news to world investors. The culprits deserves the baptismal of fire once we get rid them.
Nonsense …. no one attempted to kill Mnangagwa.
