Mnangagwa has been under siege since he assumed ZANU-PF’s second most powerful post 15 months ago but he has kept his cool, something that has won him the admiration of Western diplomats and investors who are more interested in stability than democracy.
The former Defence and State Security Minister, who has also served as Rural Housing Minister, Speaker of Parliament, and Justice Minister, is widely viewed as a replica of Mugabe. This has put off some Western countries like the United States which supports reformists within ZANU-PF rather than the so-called hardliners.
