BULAWAYO – A commissioner with the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) reported gunshots at his house on Friday night, hours after the Constitutional Court upheld a Presidential Election result announced by the body.
Qhubani Moyo posted a message on Facebook which said: “Sad developments at my house where a member of the Police Protection Unit is lying in a pool of blood after gunshots. Motive unknown!!!”
ZimLive.com has established that the incident took place at his home he shares with his family in Selbourne Park, Bulawayo. He was in Harare at the time.
Moyo was not taking calls when we tried to reach him by phone.
Police sources told ZimLive.com that the police officer had suffered self-inflicted injuries, suggesting he shot himself, dispelling rumours of a more sinister development.
The officer survived the shooting and was being treated at a hospital under police guard, according to the police insider.
Earlier, Moyo was at the Constitutional Court to hear judges confirm Emmerson Mnangagwa as the duly elected President of Zimbabwe after the MDC’s Nelson Chamisa had appealed results announced by ZEC on August 3.
