Robert Mugabe’s former vice president and top enforcer — known to some as “The Crocodile” — took command of the southern African country is rousing style Friday.
Emmerson Mnangagwa was sworn in as the nation’s second president — only Zimbabwe’s second leader in nearly four decades — to shouts and singing from tens of thousands of people.
A smiling Mnangagwa greeted the crowd at a packed stadium, promising to reduce crushing unemployment and return the country to prosperity after years of decline.
“Our economic policy will be directed for job, job, job creation” he told the crowd of 60,000 in the capital, Harare. “We must work together. You, me, all of us who make up this nation. I must hit the ground running.”
