President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s spokesperson George Charamba on Friday shared an email sent by one Joe Doe to FastJet about a bomb threat at the Victoria Falls International Airport.
The letter, which Charamba claimed forced Mnangagwa’s plane to abort its landing at the airport and return to Harare, was sent on 01 March 2024 at 8:10:38 AM. It reads:

In an earlier statement, Charamba said that as a precaution, the country’s security systems have been put on heightened alert following this message whose source and credibility are also being investigated.
