Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Airports Company of Zimbabwe (ACZ) says the country\u2019s airports are now operating normally after the Victoria Falls International Airport was closed briefly on Friday due to security concerns.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s security systems were put on high alert yesterday in response to reports of a bomb or firearm threat targeting the country\u2019s airports.<\/p>\n

This was after Fastjet Airlines forwarded an e-mail message to Zimbabwean authorities which originated from one \u201cJohn Doe\u201d who claimed to have credible information that a bomb or firearm threat was targeting Zimbabwean airports.<\/p>\n

However, speaking to The Herald<\/b> last night ACZ chief executive officer Tawanda Gusha said security services have taken all precautions at airports to ensure safe travel. He said:<\/p>\n

(The) airports are operating including the Victoria Falls International Airport.Usanetseke neNetOne airtime.<\/b><\/p>\n

We want to assure our stakeholders and all those using airports that the security services have taken all precautions to ensure that the travelling public is safe.<\/p>\n

In an earlier statement yesterday, the Deputy Chief Secretary in the Office of the President and Cabinet (Presidential Communications), George Charamba, said President Emmerson Mnangagwa had cancelled a trip to Victoria Falls following the bomb or firearm threat.<\/p>\n

He said security services were investigating the source and credibility of the \u201cJohn Doe\u201d email.<\/p>\n
