WHY DID ED REDUCE HIMSELF LIKE THIS?

By Farai D Hove| In what was supposed to be a VP to VP convergence between the two nations India and Zimbabwe, ZANU PF leader Emmerson Mnangagwa on Saturday usurped his deputy Constantino Chiwenga’s duties and went ahead to on his own meet India’s Vice, President Venkaiah Naidu.

The development comes against the backdrop of reports that the two coup beneficiaries are on each other throats barely a year after removing their former boss, Robert Mugabe.

Soon after the meeting, Mnangagwa celebrated the visit saying, “I had an excellent meeting with Indian Vice President Venkaiah Naidu this morning. This is the first high-level Indian visit to Zimbabwe in two decades, and a sign of our ever improving relations with one of the largest and most significant economies in the world.

“As part of his visit, Mr. Naidu will address the India-Zimbabwe Business Forum, which is being attended by a host of Indian business people who are interested in investing in Zimbabwe.

“Our improved relations with the global community will create significant benefits for the Zimbabwean people.”
