Asked by interviewer Vimbai Kajese about his relationship with his former boss Robert Mugabe during a dialogue was organised by Global Shapers Community in Harare on Thursday, President Emmerson Mnangagwa said he has no hard feelings toward Zimbabwe’s former leader whom he still talks with.
Said Mnangagwa:
I am here because for the last 54 years he was holding my hand. To me he is my father, mentor, icon, revolutionary leader, but time comes when he gets influenced because, I believe, of age. Somebody described people who surrounded him as criminals. So, I do not believe that some of the actions made at the 11th hour were genuinely his own. I realised that things were not what I used to know. As a result of that, I have no ill feelings at all towards former President Mugabe. I chat with him.
