By Own Correspondent| South African President will this weekend be in Zimbabwe to attend the inauguration of President elect Emmerson Mnangagwa.
President Ramaphosa revealed that he will from 09 to 10 August 2018 undertake Working Visits to the Republic of Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to hold consultative meetings with President Edgar Lungu and President Joseph Kabila respectively before proceeding to Zimbabwe to attend President elect Emmerson Mnangagwa’s inauguration in Harare.
Pencilled for the 12th of August 2018, Mnangagwa’s inauguration follows the declaration by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission that he won the just ended harmonised polls by 50.8 percent.
However, the MDC Alliance Presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa is challenging the elections outcome arguing that he won the election. Chamisa’s lawyers are however yet to lodge their constitutional court challenge.
Said President Ramaphosa:
President Cyril Ramaphosa will undertake Working Visits to the Republic of Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and attend the Presidential Inauguration in the Republic of Zimbabwe. https://t.co/qR3BS5KMOy
