War Veterans have said that they are planning to host a huge party for president Emmerson Mnangagwa who recently assumed the revolving chairpersonship of the SADC Troika.
They said that his assumption of the post was indeed an honour to the war veterans and Zimbabwe at large.
Speaking to journalists, Zimbabwe National Liberation War veterans Association (ZNLWVA) spokesperson, Douglas Mahiya said:
It is the war veterans that have benefitted, being recognised by the region.
Never ever at any point has the opposition been recognised in the southern region or accorded or given such a post.
This is a milestone, this is an achievement for the people of Zimbabwe and even journalists must applaud that.
So we are organising a big event for that and all war veterans are coming to support the President…
The announcement comes after the ZANU PF youth league also announced that they will be holding a party for Mnangagwa.
