President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s office yesterday denied stage-managing a bomb blast in Bulawayo as a pretext to hunt down and silence political opponents linked to the country’s sulking former leader Robert Mugabe who is said to be stepping up efforts to get back at his successor.
Presidential spokesperson George Charamba suggested that those claiming the blast was stage-managed had a wild imagination.
“You think where you have such serious injuries, including high-profile ones; you use such an incident, to achieve what? I mean, that’s a bit of a psychopathic thinking. That is uncalled for in circumstances that are so dire and quite serious,” an irritated Charamba said
He went on to add that Zimbabwe does not have a tradition of political assassinations.

You see, generally, it’s very difficult to insure against a device that can be thrown at its target. It can happen anytime and anywhere.
Charamba also ruled out the declaration of a state of emergency.
