Permanent secretary in the Ministry of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting, Nick Mangwana, has indicated his boss, Emmerson Mnangagwa is grooming a young successor.

Writing at the weekend, Mangwana said Mnangagwa believes that a young leader should succeed him. He said Mnangagwa believes the next President “leadership of Zimbabwe should be younger in age compared to the leadership the country has had so far.

“It is with this in mind that he has taken the bold step of infusing young leadership in the government as deputies to learn the ropes.

Mnangagwa who became head of State in 2017 has said he will still be leading ZANU PF in 2030. He will be 92 when he will be due for re-election. Still however, Mnangagwa insists he is determined to hand over to a younger mentee.

IS HE TELLING THE TRUTH?
