Mozambique Opposition Leader Escapet from Assassination Attempt in South Africa

By Burnett Munthali

Venâncio Mondlane, the leader of Mozambique’s opposition and runner-up in the disputed presidential election held last month, has alleged that he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt in South Africa, where he has sought refuge following the controversial election results.

In a video posted on Facebook, Mondlane described the harrowing experience, claiming that assassins had arrived at his home with the intent to kill him. According to Mondlane, he was forced to make a quick escape, leaping through a back door and fleeing through a nearby hair salon, all while carrying his bags and accompanied by his wife and daughter.

“I was in mortal danger. They came to my house to kill me,” Mondlane stated in the video. Despite his dramatic account, he did not provide any concrete evidence to substantiate his claims. His allegations come at a time of heightened political tensions in Mozambique following the contested election, which has sparked widespread protests and controversy.

As of now, Mozambican authorities have not issued any official comment regarding Mondlane’s allegations. The situation remains unclear, and there has been no confirmation of the alleged assassination attempt from independent sources. Mondlane’s claims have raised questions about his safety and the political climate in Mozambique, especially as he continues to challenge the election results and criticize the government.

Mondlane’s narrow escape has further intensified the political unrest in Mozambique, where opposition leaders have long complained of intimidation and violence following elections. While his allegations have not been verified, they highlight the ongoing tensions between the ruling government and opposition groups, with many fearing that the country’s democratic processes remain under threat.
