President Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe escaped unhurt after an explosion rocked a stadium where he was addressing a political rally on Saturday.

However, vice presidents Constantino Chiwenga and Kembo Mohadi and a minister sustained minor injuries following the blast at the White City Stadium in the second city of Bulawayo.

“There has been an incident at Bulawayo where the President was addressing a rally.

“This is now a police issue but the president is safe at Bulawayo State House,” spokesman George Charamba told Reuters.

“We are still to get information on what exactly happened as we understand that some people could have been injured as this happened in the VIP tent,” he said

National Police spokesperson Charity Charamba said she did not have details on the incident.

Several security personnel were also injured, the state-owned Herald newspaper said.
