A Bulawayo man yesterday broke records when he stood in the road and threw stones at First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa’s motorcade which was on its way out of the city to Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo Airport.

The man who witnesses claim to be mentally challenged is reported to have got into the centre of Robert Mugabe Way armed himself with stones and blocked the high security motorcade before hurling the stones towards the vehicles and security details.

He was however strongly pinned down by two police officers who were part of the motorcade before being whisked away in a police vehicle.

Auxilia Mnangagwa was in the second capital on Monday where she had gone to give her condolences to wife of the late National Hero Dumiso Dabengwa at the family home in Fourwinds.

She incidentally went on to visit the widow of former President Canaan Banana and other forgotten liberation war fighters in the city.

Bulawayo provincial police spokesperson Precious Simango would not give media a comment on the issue claiming that she was on leave.

“I am on leave. Please phone Inspector Ncube,” said Simango.

Efforts to contact Inspector Ncube proved futile as his mobile was unreachable. The whereabouts of the man could also not immediately be ascertained.

Mrs Mnangagwa experienced a similar fate in Masvingo recently when she was booed and lampooned by residents of the town as she walked into an OK Supermarket with her huge entourage of security guards.
