Mnangagwa sings Mugabe praises

Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa yesterday went overdrive bootlicking President Robert Mugabe, describing the 91-year-old as a sophisticated, charismatic, iconic and morally upright leader.

Mnangagwa proceeded to describe his boss as a rare gift to Zimbabwe, whose visionary leadership was unparralled, a steadfast thinker and an intellectual giant.

Mnangagwa was introducing Mugabe at State House at the launch of a book about the late former Tanzanian leader, Julius Nyerere, titled Julius Nyerere, Asante sana, Thank you, Mwalimu.
