A number of shattered windowpanes were strewn all over the veranda and some police officers were still trying to ascertain the damage caused by the explosion.
In an interview at the offices, Zanu-PF’s provincial administrator, Cde Passmore Washaya said they suspected the attack on their party offices was an act of aggression by their political rivals, MDC-T.
“We are still waiting for police investigations to be completed but we strongly suspect that this was an act of aggression by our enemies, especially the MDC-T,” he said.
Cde Washaya said preliminary investigations showed that the explosion did not damage property inside the party offices.
“It looks like the suspects missed their target and the explosion ended up shattering some windowpanes without causing further damage. We are, however, still waiting for the police to complete their investigations so
that we can ascertain the extent of the damage,” he said.
MDC-T Midlands provincial spokesperson, Mr James Tsuro, however, dismissed as unfounded allegations that his party was responsible for the bombing of Zanu-PF offices.
“These are unfounded allegations and if the suspects were from the MDC-T party, by now there could have been a number of arrests. There is no reason why the MDC-T would bomb empty offices and besides our party is not violence-oriented. There is no point for us to resort to violence when it is a known fact that virtually all the urban dwellers are MDC-T party supporters. Why would we bomb other political parties’ offices when wehave the majority of supporters,” he said.
