Mnangagwa flies out of hiding to take over
ZIMBABWE’S sacked vice-president Emmerson Mnangagwa returned from South Africa yesterday to take over from deposed president Robert Mugabe.
Parliamentary speaker Jacob Mudenda said Mr Mnangagwa — dubbed the “Crocodile” for his role in the 1983 Matabeleland massacres of opposition Zapu supporters — would be sworn in as president tomorrow.
The ruling Zanu-PF party expelled Mr Mugabe and named Mr Mnangagwa as its leader on Sunday. It met on Monday to impeach Mr Mugabe, though he resigned afterwards.
