Emmerson Mnangagwa
- In his tryst with power which captivated him, scarce little was done for the masses.
In his tryst with power which captivated him, scarce little was done for the masses. The country's economy is in a shambles with high rates of joblessness and inflation. Zimbabwe doesn't even have an functioning currency in circulation. The ruling party's tentacles are spread in every sector. Nothing was left untouched as sycophancy was the mode of governance. Now that the military is in charge, there is a growing fear about the future of the country. How worse can it get? Will the army uphold democratic norms and hold free and fair elections? There were rumours that the president wanted to keep it in the family and his spouse Grace was set to replace him. That is unlikely to happen as the Mugabes are under house arrest. The country is rich in resources, has a literate population, and a strong diaspora in the UK and South Africa who want to return to rebuild it. Democracy without the Mugabes would be in Zimbabwe's interests. All eyes are now on the military.
