Mnangagwa arrives home, to be sworn in as president Friday

Mnangagwa was Zimbabwe’s vice president but fled for his safety after Mugabe sacked him two weeks ago

Zimbabwe’s former vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa arrived back in the country on Wednesday, two days before he is due to be sworn in as president to replace Robert Mugabe, ruling party ZANU-PF official Larry Mavhima said.

Mugabe resigned as Zimbabwe’s president on Tuesday, a week after the army and his former political allies moved to end four decades of rule by a man once feted as an independence hero who became feared as a despot.
