President Emmerson Mnangagwa's close protection will be drastically tightened following a botched "attempted assassination" of the head of state at a rally in Bulawayo, the Zimbabwe Defence Forces has said.

Zimbabwe Defence Forces spokesperson Colonel Overson Mugwisi told a news conference yesterday that they will carry out an immediate and in-depth review of Mnangagwa's security.

Meanhwhile, the Zimbabwe's military will accept the outcome of the July 30 historic election, and will work with the winning candidate to ensure a stable transition.

Putting to rest the most open threat to date voting for the opposition would mean voting for civil war - a message that senior officials in the ruling  Zanu-PF party have long been spreading - the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) told a news conference in Harare yesterday that the military will respect and accept the results of the July 30 elections.
