Speaking yesterday, President Emmerson Mnangagwa equated himself to God and labelled the opposition as Satan.
Mnangagwa said even in Heaven God had problems with the devil but He still remained the Creator. He said this while fielding questions from journalists during a press conference held at the conclusion of the third session of the Zimbabwe-South Africa Bi-National Commission Summit in Harare yesterday. Mnangagwa was responding to a question on the progress made on the issue of national dialogue and how inclusive the process was. Said Mnangagwa:
It is our view that we don’t need to commit the mistakes of those who have gone ahead of us. We need to leap frog in terms of our development to catch up with other developing countries but to do so, we need their hands like what South Africa is doing – holding our hand, moving with us and then other countries. That’s what we are doing. We will not be swayed by negative forces because even the lord upstairs was not able to keep his house in order — he had satan. So, these things happen but He still remains there as the Creator.
