Zanu Pf youths and war veterans have sensationally claimed that the ED rally Bomb Blast which killed two State security agents and injured 47 party members in Bulawayo was an inside job, involving members of the vanquished G40 faction.

Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association (ZNLWVA) spokesperson Douglas Mahiya said they suspected that the attack could have been engineered by members of the G40 faction who remained in government and those still sympathetic to ex president Robert Mugabe.

“War veterans demand that the culprits be brought to book. The evil political machinations of G40 and enemies of the Zimbabwean revolution cannot be ruled out as suspects. We also don’t rule out the evil acts as an inside job, time will tell,” Mahiya said.

Zanu PF youth league secretary Pupurai Togarepi told journalists in Harare that they also suspected “enemies surrounding Mnangagwa” as responsible for the Saturday attack.

So as war veterans are saying and as any other Zimbabwean will think, maybe it could be those elements who used to enjoy things that they can’t enjoy now because we have a straight forward President. So they may be tempted to kill him to create instability. I can’t give you the list of my suspects, it’s so long, but I am hurt,” he said.

The youth league leader came short of naming names, but indicated that it could have been an inside job which could involve people around Mnangagwa, who used to enjoy huge benefits in Mugabe’s era.
