PRESS RELEASE
RE: ZCTU CONDEMNS RESURGENCE OF POLITICALLY MOTIVATED BOMBINGS
The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) is deeply concerned with the resurgence of politically motivated bombings following the overnight bombing of the SAPES TRUST property where a security guard on duty was allegedly abducted by unknown assailants and residence of Gilbert Bgwende, a member of the Constitutional Defence Forum was also bombed.
The bombings are a clear pattern of a coordinated campaign of intimidation against voices resisting the 2030 agenda which seeks to extend the reign of President Emmerson Mnangagwa since SAPES Trust was set to hold a National Press Conference coordinated by civic society against the 2030 agenda.
The ZCTU condemns all forms of intimidation against individuals or institutions who seek to express themselves on any matter. We view the latest bombings as a warning to the general populace and institutions opposed to the 2030 agenda. In that regard, the perpetrators are brazenly undermining the democratic rights of persons to hold own views and express.
We fear that the country may descend into serious anarchy if these actions go unchecked. We call upon the police to investigate the matter to finality so that the perpetrators face the full wrath of the law.
