Zimbabwe anti-corruption body investigates Grace Mugabe's PhD

Zimbabwe's president Emmerson Mnangagwa (L) and chief Justice Luke Malaba (R) sit and talk as they attend the swearing-in ceremony in Harare, on December 28, 2017.

The atrocities targeted members of the ethnic Ndebele population believed to support former Vice President Joshua Nkomo, then an opponent of Mugabe.

Zimbabwean correctional services authorities are reportedly seeking President Emmerson Mnangagwa's consent to pardon at least 2 000 inmates in-order to ease congestion in the country's overloaded prisons.

"Right now the cabinet of the Republic of Zimbabwe is led by the most feared people in the history of this country".

A former defence minister, Lourenco once served as governor in several provinces of Angola and between 1992 and 1997 he was responsible for propaganda in the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA)'s Politburo.

Jonathan Moyo says the worldwide community, including the AU and the United Nations, was making a huge mistake if it legitimised a government that came to power via a coup.

Zhuwao - who was part of a faction loyal to former first lady Grace Mugabe - said that before Mugabe was pressured into resigning on November 24 groups that included women, youths and traditional leaders, as well as entrepreneurs, farmers and students had been joining forces within the ruling party.

Mugabe, 93, stood down last November, a week after the army and his former political allies turned against him, ending almost four decades of rule marred by allegations of corruption, human rights abuses and economic negligence.

Grace Mugabe had had ambitions to succeed her 93-year-old husband-and just before the coup she had been about to be appointed the country's vice-president, following the sacking of Mnangagwa by her husband.

Moyo said he fled his home in Borrowdale after receiving a tip off not to spend the night, on November 16, at the house.

"Let him come and clear his name in the courts of law" said Charamba.

The governing ZANU PF has picked President Mnangagwa as its presidential candidate for the upcoming presidential elections. "He is suffering from fears of his own making".
