Zimbabwe’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa time as head of the country has been marred by tyranny and dictatorship while he surrounds himself with people from his Midlands Province to keep him in power. A strategy he has been perfecting since assuming the presidency in 2017.
It is now more than three years after President Emmerson Mnangagwa ascended to power through a military coup that toppled his long-time ruler and mentor, the late President Robert Gabriel Mugabe in November 2017.
He won a disputed general election in July 2018 and his victory was confirmed by the country’s constitutional court that is headed by his close ally Chief Justice Luke Malaba.
