By Farai D Hove | Analysis | In all suspected explosions affecting Emmerson Mnangagwa’s top officials since the White City 23 June 2018 bombing, the grenade thrower is never caught or arrested. In the latest helicopter explosion that has killed the ‘Doug Munatsi ‘of 2026, Wicknell Chivayo, the 6th passenger (a military personnel), was cited by the government.
However this 6th chopper passenger’s record was later expunged from the police record, hours after the govt had made an announcement. The removal of this detail happened despite the first one being stamped “official.”
Who is this 6th person? Investigations by ZimEye show that this passenger, a male, can only have been a skilled paratrooper who like Lulu Chivayo’s own ZNA trained bodyguard (who’s died), was a military personnel assigned to protect the husband, Chivayo, who up to the time of his death was Mnangagwa’s unofficial official aide.
How did this 6th person disembark the chopper, if it wasn’t by doing what others: the White City person (video below) , and the Doug Munatsi alleged assassin did (on 29 Nov 2021)?
According to the sequence of events this sixth person could only have escaped in similar ways other such military personnel have escaped in two other incidents before since the 23rd of June 2018. (Video)
