Breaking: Zimbabwean President Survives Assassination Attempt

Reports from Zimbabwe say that President Emmerson Mnangagwa survived what is reportedly an assassination attempt.

The attempt happened at the White City stadium in Bulawayo during a ZANU-PF rally where President Mnangagwa was campaigning ahead of the July 30th elections.

It was reported to be an explosion at the VVIP section of the stadium, with many casualties.

According to President Mnangagwa’s pokesman George Charamba;

“The president was evacuated successfully. He is at state house in Bulawayo.

“We suspect it’s an explosion, certainly it was close to the VVIP stage.”

Nigeria’s Presidential aspirant Atiku Abubakar has commiserated with the Zimbabwean President;

“My prayers & thoughts are with Pres. Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe who just survived an assassination attempt. I wish him speedy recovery. I call on all Zims to uphold democracy in the run up to the July 30 Polls. There shall be no room for anti-democratic forces on the African continent.”
