As they say there is no love lost between Emmerson Mnangagwa and his former boss, Robert Mugabe as the former idolised his mentor  for spearheading the controversial land reform programme.

According to the state media, Mnangagwa said not everyone can be employed and that farming is more than being employed.

He said this while addressing a crowd of Zion Christian Church (ZCC) congregants during the
Kudzika Mugomo conference meant to pray for the rains at the church’s headquarters in Bikita.

“There are others who do not listen and always talk of unemployment when land can be a panacea to all our economic challenges. Do you think if all of you here, with your numbers, look for employment, will you all be employed? I think working on land is more than being employed. At the turn of the millennium, our former President
Mr Mugabe gave us land and it is now time to till that land –making it
productive. We never chose to be
between Zambezi and Limpopo, as a
country, and Zimbabwe is now the
Garden of Eden, it’s God who made
that.State media
