“We have 25 people at Mpilo, 12 at Mater Dei and four at UBH, giving us a total of 41 who have so far approached our health institutions complaining of injuries. “Some had, however, previously gone home and later discovered that they wanted to be assisted and are coming in.

We will, therefore, have a consolidated figure (today) but so
far that is the figure we have. We have no fatalities so far,” said Dr Parirenyatwa.

Dr Parirenyatwa went on: “Some (of the injured) require serious surgery and I think these are the ones who were close to where the blast occurred, but some are not serious. Some can be treated and discharged,” he said.
