Security for all Zimbabwe presidential hopefuls…Byo attack act of terror, says VP Chiwenga
Vice President General Constantino Chiwenga (Retired) yesterday described as an act of terrorism the explosion that rocked White City Stadium in Bulawayo on Saturday soon after President Mnangagwa addressed a Zanu-PF rally and said the incident would not deter Zimbabwe from holding elections in a peaceful environment.
VP Chiwenga said the culprits would be brought to book by the police.
The VP also disclosed that security would be provided to all candidates in the forthcoming elections who felt that they are in danger.
Addressing thousands of Zanu-PF supporters at Chibuku Stadium in Chitungwiza, VP Chiwenga said debt collectors were becoming a nuisance in Chitungwiza and that they should stop harassing residents.
On elections, VP Chiwenga said; “Before l proceed, let me make it clear for l know we have got our friends from the Press, that nothing will stop the elections in Zimbabwe, nothing at all.

“Zimbabwe is going for a new trajectory, a Zimbabwe we want, a Zimbabwe which the people of Zimbabwe want. The harmonised elections, come 30th of July, will go ahead.
“That act of terrorism which happened in Bulawayo is nothing, it does not deter us. But if the colleagues running for harmonised elections on the 30th of July are afraid and scared, they will be given security. The police will hunt down the criminal or those criminals and they will be brought before the law,” he said.
“The act does not stop anything, so we must all continue to campaign peacefully because we want an election which is free, violence-free and credible. An election which the people of Zimbabwe will say ‘this is our election’ and these are the leaders whom we have elected, free of any influence.”
VP Chiwenga urged residents to pay for services they are being given and that debt collectors engaged by Chitungwiza Municipality should stop forthwith.

My view: If you don't prosecute corrupt African leaders and their wives, like former President Mugabe and his wife Grace, then evil people would be emboldened to carry out heinous act like this. Why was Grace Mugabe and her husband former president Muagabe not charged for corruption,after they were accused of looting Zimbabawe and their sons flaunting their illgotten wealth on social media. The same thing is happening in Nigeria, the former First Lady Patience Jonathan was accused of corruption and she has never been charged, after millions of pounds was discovered from various accounts by EFCC. President Mnangagwa should call of an independent investigation of the failed plot to assasinate him, as it could be someone in his own government who is trying to take over power, it clearly looks like an inside job, where the explosion happened, just take a look at the video properly, he shouldn't trust some people around him.
