“We have one of the best constitutions in the region, I think, which is very democratic and we respect it,” he said.

“However, the rule of law must be obeyed, the rule of law must take root in our country.

“Not everybody observes that, but I have no doubt that as we move on we shall continue to improve and deepen our democracy.”

Mnangagwa also said his administration regretted the resultant loss of life during efforts to contain chaos on the 1st August.

He said prior to the general election, he had appealed for and preached peace, unity and tolerance.

“But I was surprised at the end when there were violent demonstrations that happened (after voting); we are against that.

“We believe that as we go forward, I propose that all political parties participating in general elections sign a commitment to peaceful elections,” he said.- state media/additional reporting
