Emmerson Mnangagwa last week commissioned a statue of himself.

He received the five-star statue of himself that was carved in his honour by Masvingo artist Mr Silvester Mugari.

The statue, made from granite rock, was handed over to Mnangagwa by Minister Chadzamira at Masvingo Airport soon after Mnangagsa landed in the city to preside over the 13th Great Zimbabwe University graduation ceremony in his capacity as Chancellor.

Mr Mugari took two years to complete the statue, which weighs 2,4 tonnes and is 2,5 metres high. It also has a width of 1,2 metres. He began work soon after Mnangagwa assumed power in November 2017. – state media
