An email at Victoria Falls International Airport alerted authorities to a possible bomb threat just moments before President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s scheduled arrival, as reported by a source to ZimLive. In response to this alarming situation, President Mnangagwa decided to cancel his planned visit to attend the closing ceremony of a renewable energy conference and returned to Harare, where he safely landed.

Deputy Chief Secretary-Presidential Communications George Charamba announced that the Government is currently investigating an email sent through Fastjet, indicating a bomb threat targeting Zimbabwean airports. This development prompted Mnangagwa to abort his trip to Victoria Falls following the threat.Charamba emphasized the government’s serious approach to such alerts regarding potential terrorist activities, stressing the importance of not underestimating any possible risks to national security.

The government has released the e-mail sent to Fastjet which forced the temporary closure of Victoria Falls International Airport as President Emmerson Mnangagwa was airborne and about to land in his private jet from Harare. The e-mail was sent by someone using name ‘John Doe’
