Public anger benefits Mnangagwa

A South African think tank says the rising anger against present Robert Mugabe could fortuitously benefit his longest serving aide and deputy - Emerson Mnangagwa in the current Zanu-PF succession race.

NKC African economics said management chances to become the next president Robert Mugabe leave office before the 2018 general election have brightened.

Mnangagwa has seen steadfast in his loyalty for Mugabe and denies plotting against the man on whose side he says he has been for more than 50 years.
