Terrence Mawawa Mawawa|President Emmerson Mnangagwa has embarrassed himself by repeatedly failing to pronounce a Ndebele Phrase while addressing delegates at a State event in Harare.

The usually calm and composed Mnangagwa was a ball of nerves as he grinned uncomfortably and uncontrollably after failing to read out a Ndebele phrase while addressing delegates at a luncheon hosted by the Local Government Ministry.

Mnangagwa wanted to read out the Ndebele version of the Shona expression:” Kunzi mambo hunge uine vanhu.”

Mnangagwa repeatedly said “Unkosi …” until state security aides came to his rescue.
