By Own Correspondent| President Emmerson Mnangagwa has thanked party members for defeating opponents in the just ended harmonised polls.

Mnangagwa said while one of his presidential rivals took him to court, his party had been afforded a fresh mandate to govern.

Said the Zanu Pf leader at the party’s 17th National People’s Conference:

“….After the voting and process of announcing elections we experienced violence in Harare we condemn that violence and would then appointed a commission of inquiry.

I have since received the report of the commission of enquiry in the post-election violence of August 2018 and I will be making it public next week…

I thank you all we destroyed those who were competing against us. We destroyed those who were competing against us. We should be extremely proud of ourselves…

We were given a fresh mandate to govern Zimbabwe… full stop!

No GNU.

The votes came from all four corners of the country and it was a resounding victory… I say to you all thank you all, siyabonga, ndinokutendai…

In spite of our convincing win, one of the 22 presidential contestants took me to court…

Do not be troubled or lose sleep as you hear noises going up and down. I urge members of the party, do not be perturbed by those who continue to make noises: as ZANU PF, we have no agenda for a GNU… let us continue working towards the betterment of our econony… for our country.”
