Mnangagwa then laughs and shakes hands in turn with the officer, Angeline Tongogara and the defence minister and moves off.
Zimbabweans have been impressed by their new president’s handling of the mistake, which could have been missed by a cursory reading of the plaque. Some on social media are hoping he’ll run his government the same way – quickly calling attention to mistakes.
The barracks had kept its name, KGVI, since before independence, in commemoration of the former British monarch, George VI. Three other army barracks around the country are due to be renamed.

I believe a real President should be a perfectionist who does not tolerate any silly mistakes.So, a whole President should now be spellchecking plaques?
