HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's vice president Constantino Chiwenga and his wife sustained minor injuries from a blast at a political rally, a source close to President Emmerson Mnangagwa told Reuters on Saturday. "Mrs Chiwenga was slightly injured. Her husband was also affected in a minor way," the source said. Mnangagwa's spokesman said earlier that the president was not hurt in the blast at a stadium in the second city of Bulawayo and was taken to safety.
