Mugabe praises Mnangagwa

President Robert Mugabe seemed to have all but endorsed Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa as his successor after declaring the latter was the most senior party member in the Midlands province and the Zanu-PF party which had never turned against him.

Mugabe said Mnangagwa had remained steadfast in his loyalty to him and the party.

His praises came a day after his wife Grace said she had no presidential ambitions and had a good working relationship with Mnangagwa.
