In a ceremony this morning, Emmerson Mnangagwa has been sworn in as Zimbabwe’s president in the country’s capital, Harare.
His swearing in ceremony follows the dramatic resignation of Robert Mugabe after 37 years. The former vice-president’s dismissal earlier this month led the ruling Zanu-PF party and the army to intervene and force Mr Mugabe to quit.
