Mozambique: Plot To Kill Presidential Runner-up? | Firstpost Africa | Subscribe to Firstpost

Mozambique's opposition leader and the presidential runner-up in last month's disputed election has claimed to have survived an assassination attempt. Venancio Mondlane, the independent presidential candidate backed by the Podemos party claimed in a video that he escaped an attempted assassination in South Africa where he has taken refuge after the elections. Mondlane did not reveal when the alleged assassination attempt took place. He said he had been staying in the affluent Sandton neighbourhood in Johannesburg. However, South Africa's foreign ministry has reacted by saying that they did not know of him being in the country. The ministry also said that Mondlane should have reported about the assassination bid to the police. Watch the video for more details.
