The Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops' Conference issues a pastoral letter stating the country is in a crisis of moral leadership and governance and calls for a new people-driven constitution. The Conference highlights the collapse of the country's social services, the hyperinflation, condemns the corruption and the abuse of power and calls for action to avert a mass uprising. While some individual bishops have spoken before, most notably Archbishop Pius Ncube, this is the first time they issue a joint statement through the Bishops Conference on the governance crisis.

The police allege that the violence is part of the MDC's 'militia-style' violence and accuses opposition activists of being behind the bombings. However, MDC officials say that the bombings in Harare, and other disturbances in Gweru and Mutare, were orchestrated by the government as a pretext to justify intensifying its violent crackdown on opponents.
