A social media user has mocked President Emmerson Mnangagwa for spending 53 years waiting to be the President of Zimbabwe only to become incompetent.

Mnangagwa was late President Robert Mugabe’s aide dating back to the days of the liberation struggle and was for long taunted as the successor.

When it appeared Mugabe had shifted focus preferring someone else, Mnangagwa teamed up with the army to stage a coup in November 2017 but that has turned disastrous as the economy is now on a free-fall.
