Another netizens, Kanumars said, “Congratulations President Emmerson Mnangagwa for your appointment. We cherish the time and your visionary leadership will take us to the promised land. Aluta continua with the great work.”
Former Editor of The Herald, Ceasar Zvayi said the appointment of President Mnanagwa is spot on as it would solve the political issues currently bedevilling the nation. Zvayi tweeted that, “The significance of President Mnangagwa’s chairmanship lies in the fact that it comes at a time the opposition MDC-A and its handlers are claiming a crisis of legitimacy and turmoil in Zimbabwe, meaning SADC as a whole does not buy that crap and in fact sees a problem solver in ED (President Mnangagwa).”
Meanhile, ZANU-PF Youth League National Political Commissar, Godfrey Tsenengamu has called upon all youth league members to attend the celebration of President Mnangagwa’s SADC appointment at ZANU-PF Headquarters on 21 August 2019.
