newzimbabwevision says the culprit is a Zimbabwean , known to one or more in the audience during the show, whose place of residence, family, relatives, friends, contacts, work place in South Africa and Zimbabwe is well known to others.

No Zimbabwean can hide permanantly from justice unless if protected by the public. After the lawless behaviour by First Lady Grace Mugabe in which she assaulted and inflicted harm upon model Gabriella Engels (20) in her own motherland. it would be self defeating to allow such lawless acts like shooting people in a crowd.

This is no different from the horrendous acts of violence across Europe where we see perpetrators of such evil acts, ploughing into crowds with vehicles, stabbing or shooting people and blowing up explosives where people are gathered. In this case people were gathered to enjoy a show and he unleashed terror upon the innocent victims, using what probably is an unlicenced gun.

Yes, Grace Mugabe’s act of violence against model Gabriella Engels (20) and almost costing her an eye in the brutal assault using an extension cord but escaping justice, courtesy of the South African government, would have been viewed by weak minded people as a red carpet to violent acts in South Africa but we must as a people put a stop to this murderous attitude.

This should be ramped up to an act of terrorism and bring in all forces of international security like CIA, FBI, Interpol and others to flush him out. There should be no safe have for him except in prison. It is up to the Zimbabwean public who may have some information, no matter how insignificant you may assume it is, to avail that to the police and help bring the culprit to book soon as you could very well be his next target,..stop him!.

This kind of person is likely to have used weapons again in the same manner and escaped justice and will do the same again as long as he can get away with it unless if people help the police catch him even if he escapes back to Zimbabwe, he must be exposed and caught. If anyone out there has information please contact Police duty officer, Detective Capt. Radebe on Cell. 082 525 0305.
