Human Rights lawyer Alex Magaisa says:
“I’ve just had a conversation with Nelson Chamisa, leader of Zimbabwe’s opposition.
“He’s calm albeit under serious pressure.
“I don’t say this lightly but it was a heinous attempt on his life.
“The regime has gone rogue. It can’t manage him politically so it’s gone dirty.”
MDC Alliance vice president Tendai Biti says state agents were part of the team trying to kill Chamisa.
He claims they were following the MDC A leader everywhere for the rest of the day.
Apparently, the police is yet to issue a statement if a report has been made or not.
