Jane Mlambo| President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s new dispensation is bragging about paying former First Lady Janet Banana, the wife of Zimbabwe’s first President Canaan Banana.

In his Independence speech, Mnangagwa said Banana’s wife is receiving her dues which she had been denied during the former President Robert Mugabe’s era.

We cannot deny that she is our former First Lady — President Mnangagwa said — and she is now receiving her dues which had been denied her in the previous era.

It will also be recalled that President Mnangagwa in 2017 took a similar compassionate stand regarding former opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai, securing his pension and house, among other entitlements.
