Farai Dziva|A caretaker at the war veterans provincial offices in Bulawayo has said he did not see the person who threw a petrol bomb at the building.

This effectively indicates there is no evidence to prove that opposition elements threw the petrol bomb.

The provincial offices of war veterans located in Entumbane Suburb, Bulawayo, were reportedly petrol -bombed on Saturday morning.

The caretaker, Ntokozo Ncube, said he did not see the person who threw the bomb.

“I was doing rounds at the offices at about 2am when I noticed a fire coming from the back office and I alerted Mr Lucas Ngwenya, who lives in a nearby house, to assist me in putting out the fire . . . We opened the office from the front and found documents that were on the office desk and curtains already burning, and we used water to extinguish the fire,” he said.

However, Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage Minister Ambassador Cain Mathema claimed Government was aware of the unfolding plot to stage violent demonstrations around the country.

He further claimed that :” foreigners masquerading as tourists are working closely with the MDC to roll out demonstrations.”
