Attempt on President Mnangagwa’s life

The Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs in Zimbabwe, on behalf of all Muslims in the country, condemns in the strongest possible terms the assassination attempt on Zimbabwe’s President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces on Saturday the 23rd of June, 2018, at a rally in Bulawayo.

Zimbabwe has for the first time in 38 years, embarked on a path towards peaceful, free, and fair elections under the new dispensation led by President Mnangagwa.

We join all peace loving people here and abroad in condemning this act that left 49 people injured. Our prayers go to the injured whom we wish a speedy recovery.

Those who committed this act clearly seek to destabilise our nation which is headed for peace and prosperity. The law must take its full course in pursuing those who wanted to bring confusion among our people.

We also applaud the mature stance taken by the President in declaring that this act will not in any way detail the pending elections.

God bless Zimbabwe.

Sheikh Ismail Duwa
