By Own Correspondent| Secretary for Youths Affairs in Zanu Pf, Pupurai Togarepi has hinted that the people behind the bombing incident in Bulawayo are people who used to enjoy life under former President Robert Mugabe adding that these elements are responsible for the assassination attempt on a “straight forward President, Emmerson Mnangagwa”.

Addressing journalists at the party’s headquarters in the capital Harare this morning, Togarepi said as the youth wing of the party, they were disturbed by the elements behind the bombing incident bent on creating instability and terrorism in a peaceful country like Zimbabwe.

Below is the text of Togarepi’s statement:

“Following the incident at White City stadium, the youths are greatly disturbed by the attack on our party leadership especially our President Emmerson Mnangagwa. As any other Zimbabwean would think, maybe it could be those elements who used to enjoy those things they can’t enjoy now because we have a straightforward president.

These elements may be tempted to killing. To kill the people of Zimbabwe to create that instability. So there are people out there and what could motivate them? So anyone I can tell you the list of might suspect’s (sic – suspicions) is so long because …. (sic.).

But I am hurt to tell you the truth, that we have a man who is preaching peace, who is preaching development, who wants to see Zimbabweans united, and there are people out there who would want him dead.

You don’t understand; you know it’s painful. But then this is not for Zanu PF. This is for all political parties, all religious groupings. This is something that is attacking the culture that we have known for a long time in Zimbabwe of peace.

We have characters who would want to create instability in this country and we as Zimbabweans, not only the Security Services sector, but all Zimbabweans must stand up and say we don’t want this, this is foreign, and can’t be part of our lives.

We can’t live in fear, in a country that is as free as Zimbabwe; because there is somebody with selfish ends; that we should stop and it can only be stopped by Zimbabweans, no one else. Thank you.”
