HARARE – Zimbabwe’s newly sworn-in President Emmerson Mnangagwa vowed on Sunday to open a probe into violence which followed the country’s first election since strongman Robert Mugabe was ousted from power.
“To put closure and finality to the matter, I will soon be announcing members of the commission of inquiry into the said violence who will, upon completion, publish their findings,” he said shortly after being sworn in.
“This is a different Zimbabwe, the dawn of the second republic of our Zimbabwe.”
Mnangagwa’s inauguration was postponed by a week after MDC-Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa approached the courts, claiming the 30 July poll was rigged.
We are all Zimbabweans; what unites us is greater than what could ever divide us.
Let me assure you that tomorrow is brighter than yesterday! Let us look forward to the journey ahead. We will walk as one people, a united people. A journey of development, progress & prosperity. pic.twitter.com/5kQSqDhX7t
