The military service heads are now saluting their new commander-in-chief and shaking his hand.
It was the military that played a key part in the last 10 days that led to the resignation of Emmerson Mnangagwa’s predecessor Robert Mugabe.
Mr Mnangagwa said that he was in constant touch with the commanders during his exile after his sacking as Mr Mugabe’s deputy.
He said there were plans to eliminate him which is why he left the country – returning on Wednesday after Mr Mugabe’s resignation.

And they have sworn never to salute an MDC president. They are political creatures serving only ZANU.
