| President Mnangagwa who had to cut short his trip to Europe returned home yesterday. He was met by his two Vice Presidents amid reports of turmoil within the ruling party. |
President Mnangagwa returned last night from a successful
four-nation tour of Eurasia that resulted in the signing of a raft of economic
agreements as well as laying the foundation for cooperation with new partners
from the region.
On arrival, the President said he was happy that the
country was now peaceful following a few days of opposition-led violence that
resulted in loss of lives, injury and damage to property.
The opposition has on several occasions said it will make
the country ungovernable so as to topple the popularly-elected Government or
force it into a power-sharing agreement.
On returning from Russia, Belarus, Azerbaijan and
Kazakhstan late last night, President Mnangagwa said: “I will be fully briefed
… on what was happening. I am happy that the country is quiet.
“Our people must concentrate on doing their work. The
thrust is economic development; we must grow our economy.
“We want peace, we want unity among our people. There are
channels for complaints if anyone has any complaints. This is the spirit and
culture that we want as Zimbabweans to be developed.”
President Mnangagwa said he will release a statement on
deals clinched during his tour.
The tour started in Russia, through to Belarus and
Azerbaijan, and ended with the President returning from Kazakhstan last night.
He was received at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International
Airport by Vice-Presidents Dr Constantino Chiwenga and Kembo Mohadi, several
Cabinet ministers and other senior Government officials and service chiefs.
