Terrence Mawawa|Zanu PF leader Emmerson Mnangagwa has been
honoured with the Grand Cross Award in honour of his visit to Guinea during his two-day state visit to that country.

However the question on many Zimbabweans’ lips is whether the award will help the troubled nation in any way.

Political analysts argue the award given to Mnangagwa is an insult to the suffering millions of Zimbabweans.

According to a state run daily paper Mnangagwa becomes the first ever
Zimbabwean President to visit that country.

Speaking after receiving the award yesterday, Mnangagwa said:”It is indeed a great honour to receive
the Grand Cross Award on this
occasion of my visit to the historic Pan African country of the Republic of Guinea.

I receive this esteemed award
on behalf of Government and the
Republic of Zimbabwe and indeed on
my own behalf, with great humility and pride. The Grand Cross Award is a symbol of everlasting friendship and solidarity that exists between our two

countries.”
