Mnangagwa Mocks Mugabe, Says Old Age Is Making Him Forgetful

President Emmerson Mnangagwa poked fun at his predecessor Robert Mugabe’s age saying that it is making him forgetful and causing him to utter reckless statements.

Mnangagwa was responding to questions from delegates attending the extra-ordinary African Union summit in Rwanda, who wanted to know if he was no worried by Mugabe’s recent interviews and claims by opposition MDC-T leader Nelson Chamisa that the former Zanu-PF leader would back the opposition in this year’s general elections. Said Mnangagwa:

He (Mugabe) is now 94 and he may not remember that he did not cast his vote for me if you ask him today. He is our founding father and we will not bother about those things because we know if you ask him again, he will tell you ‘No, no, no! I will always vote ED (Mnangagwa).
