Columnist and state media critic, Reason Wafawarova appears on ZimEye presenting his own theory of who is likely responsible for the Saturday bombing incident.
By Reason Wafawarova| The world of Investigations: Persons of Interest (POIs) Before Screening:
1. MDC Alliance: Though propelled by a violent youth vanguard, the outfit lacks the sophistication and capacity to dare try use a bomb, or even get near one.
2. Mai Mujuru Gandanga Rine Chivindi: Though a bitter opponent if not enemy of Mnangagwa she would not benefit in any way (except revenge) in the demise of Mnangaga. There is virtually no prospect of her taking over the leadership of the country.
3. Robert Mugabe and Wife: Very bitter enemies of Mnangagwa. Badly want him and ZANU-PF to fail and demise. The two were reportedly in Singapore and the time, but they do not have to be anywhere in particular for such an act to be carried out on their behalf.
Do the two have capacity? They still have significant links to the security sector, and they do have capacity to cause harm, if they chose to try.
4. G40 as led by Jonathan Moyo and Patrick Zhuwao. These two would die to have Mnangagwa dead. They wish him a tonne of grenades on his head. But they appear to be mere wishful thinkers that spend their bitterness on line. Hard to believe they could execute such an attack.
5. Saviour Kasukuwere and Brigadier Mutinhiri. These two have capacity given their security background. But it is hard to believe they have any intention to fight the other side with force. They know the outcome and repercussions very well, and they wouldn’t dare.
6. Inside Job: It is hard to believe one would dare a stage managed grenade explosion from such close proximity. That would be very close to suicide bombing, and we do not have such courageous people this side of the world. Maybe in North Africa.
