Jane Mlambo| President Emmerson Mnangagwa has praised former head of state, Robert Mugabe saying he led the liberation struggle and is the founding father of a free Zimbabwe.

Addressing party supporters at Murombedzi Growth point today Mnangagwa thanked Zvimba for giving Zimbabwe, Mugabe.

“I want to thank the traditional leadership for giving us former President Mugabe . . .He is our founding father of a free Zimbabwe. Those who had other ideas should know that he is the founding father.

“He led us in the war of liberation. We are now going forward with the revolution. Those who had surrounded the former President had no roots in the revolution.

“Those who fail to walk the correct line of the revolution will fall by the wayside. We thank Chief Zvimba for giving us former President Mugabe. We are looking after him as our elder.

“He is out of the country at the moment and we expect him back on November 30. We thank Mash West because it has shown that it is pure Zanu-PF.
