The Zimbabwean government has reportedly sought assistance from Chinese investigators to help with the probe into the grenade attack that targeted President Emmerson Mnangagwa and other high-ranking officials during a ZANU PF rally at White City Stadium in Bulawayo on June 23, 2018.

According to ZimLive, a team of detectives from the Criminal Investigations Department revisited the scene of the attack on November 27, accompanied by four Chinese investigators.

The report mentions that there was a brief confrontation with security personnel from the City of Bulawayo, who initially denied access to the stadium due to a lack of prior authorization from City Hall. However, the police team eventually gained entry.

A source stated that the Chinese investigators interviewed individuals who were present during the explosion, taking notes and making sketches. They spent approximately two hours at the scene.

When asked about the presence of Chinese investigators, Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi claimed to be unaware of their involvement.

The grenade explosion, which occurred just meters from President Mnangagwa and other ZANU PF officials as they were leaving the stadium, resulted in the deaths of two aides to Vice Presidents Constantino Chiwenga and Kembo Mohadi. Mohadi sustained leg injuries and was later treated in South Africa, alongside several other survivors, including Defence Minister Oppah Muchinguri.
