Close shave for Mnagangwa

This might be the signal he needed to crack down on pro-Mugabe wing and general opposition of course.  It didn't seem that powerful though.  So it might be a false flag.

Yeah without a purge - Mugabe army wing will always cause trouble. The same case with Ethiopia - the Tigray do not want to lose power - yet they cracked and picked an Oromo.

I take back the false flag claim.  I have just seen pictures of wounded.  Mnangangwa escaped by a whisker.  There are obviously powerful forces still aligned against him.

Termi, so if you have seen the pictures, why are you not posting them here or you think you will get into veritas' cross-hairs? Si picha za Ghenya

False flag. I looked more like fireworks . A real bomb would have cut Mnangagwa into two from the angle it exploded and where he was. Cambridge Analytica crap.

Ethiopia is real. The PM has gone on a vanity trip and forgot that whole tribes believe they have lost power. He does not have enough loyalists in the system to embark on tourism. It is like Ruto imagining he runs the country because they left him in charge of the candy shop and he gorged himself sick on chocolate.

Mnangagwa was behind the deaths of many people in the liberation movement. Josiah Tongogara for example.

audacity,

I didn't see this earlier.  More threads than I am used to perhaps.  I wasn't thinking about veri when I didn't post them.  I just don't like to share gore.  This was nothing major, but there were real injuries.  I think it was a real attempt.  Mnangagwa is after all still in the process of dismantling institutions official and otherwise that have been serving one man for 38 years.

The purge has been late in coming in Zim but Mnangagwa just gave the signal. Grace Mugabe is in for the fall:

The President of Zimbabwe, Emmerson Mnangagwa, said he suspects a group linked to the former first lady was behind an attempt on his life.

Two people died and more than 40 were hurt in an explosion near Mr Mnangagwa at a rally in Bulawayo on Saturday.

G40

Mr Mnangagwa told the BBC's Fergal Keane that he suspected the G40 group, which supported Grace Mugabe for the presidency, had carried out the attack.

Mrs Mugabe's husband, Robert Mugabe, was removed from power last year.

Widespread suspicion that Mrs Mugabe intended to succeed her husband as the country's leader was a contributing factor to the political transition, and the army's involvement in it.

He told the BBC he expects arrests to be made shortly.

"I don't know whether it was one individual - I would think it is broader than one person. I would think this is a political action by some aggrieved persons," he said.

Mr Mnangagwa, then vice-president, and Mrs Mugabe were the two main candidates to succeed the ageing Robert Mugabe as president.

ZIM 'STABLE'

The faction supporting Mrs Mugabe was known as Generation 40 or G40.

Mr Mnangagwa described Mrs Mugabe as someone who had frequently insulted him in the past.

"On what basis would I trust someone who was used by a cabal to say things that had no basis," he said.

Despite the apparent attempt on his life, Mr Mnangagwa said Zimbabwe was stable and that foreign investors should not worry.

There would be no countrywide security clampdown and elections scheduled for next month would go ahead in a free and fair manner, he said.
