Preparations are getting under way in Zimbabwe for the inauguration tomorrow of the country's new leader Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Speaking after his return to the country, Mr Mnangagwa thanked people for their support.
He said he had written to Robert Mugabe to tell him that the people had spoken.
Mr Mnangagwa said Zimbabwe was experiencing a new and unfolding democracy - and his priority was to rebuild its economy.
He also praised the army - which intervened after he was sacked by Robert Mugabe - for managing the process peacefully.
Following his dismissal as vice-president earlier this month, he said he had been airlifted to South Africa in August after being poisoned.
