HARARE-
In a surprise move which betrays anxiety about President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s safety, authorities have once again reshuffled his personal security team while also expanding it to include Air Force personnel, the Daily News on Sunday can report.

This comes as investigations into last year’s Bulawayo bombing — in which Mnangagwa narrowly escaped an apparent attempt on his life when an explosion rocked a Zanu PF rally that he was addressing at White City Stadium — have seemingly hit a dead end.

After the Bulawayo incident, the government hastily moved the
76-year-old Zanu PF leader from his modest private home in Harare’s leafy suburb of Helensvale to State House, which had been under-going renovations at the time.
Authoritative sources told the Daily News on Sunday yesterday that Mnangagwa had rejigged his team again, following wholesale changes that were made to the security sector when he first took over the reins from ousted former president Robert Mugabe in November 2017.

The Police Protection Unit (PPU) had traditionally provided the presidium with aide de camps, but this role had been delegated to the Presidential Guard which falls under the Zimbabwe National Army, after Mugabe’s stunning fall.Daily News
