Govt Neglects Victims Of White City Bombing, Yet Top Officials Were Swiftly Airlifted To SA For Treatment

Victims of the White City Stadium bombing are yet to receive adequate medical treatment six months after the incident. Two security personnel were killed while over 47 people were injured when a suspected grenade was thrown towards ZANU PF senior officials at a rally in Bulawayo’s White City Stadium.

Among those hurt in the blast were Vice President Kembo Mohadi, Minister of Defence, Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri, Zanu-PF national commissar, Engelbert Rugeje and other high-ranking government officials.

One of the injured people, Nelly Moyo spoke to state media concerning her ordeal. She said

I was supposed to get the scan in October and l applied for the medication money at Mhlahlandlela offices but l have not received anything yet. They told me that it will take time to get the money. If l continue delaying the scan, it means the situation worsens. I cannot raise the money.

… I used to be a cross-border trader and my business was flourishing and could sustain my family but now I am just at home. I am no longer working and cannot raise money for my kids. Prices skyrocketed and life is now difficult.

Another victim, Corine Muzokera who also spoke to The Chronicle had this to say

We have not received any assistance yet, there is a well-wisher who sometimes assists me. We sent application letters to Mhlahlandlela offices in the city centre but we have not received any help yet.

… As you see I’m seated here and since July that has been my life. I cannot move nor do anything that’s why l took my young sister to help us with home chores. I do not have any means to raise school fees for my children and buy school uniforms for the new term.
