Below were reactions to the story on how ZANU PF leader Emmerson Mnangagwa has remained stuck in the country ever since his deputy Constantino Chiwenga secretly flew back into the country on 23rd November 2019.

Ever since that day Mnangagwa has not left the country and November – December now becomes his longest ever stay inside Zimbabwe for 2 years running since the Nov 2017 coup. On the 23rd November, his spokesman George Charamba attacked the deputy Chinese ambassador for conducting a welcoming ceremony for Chiwenga at the RGM airport. He said, “itsitsi dzeiko” – what kind of sympathy is that?, he wrote. 

One reader said Mnangagwa is under house or country arrest.
