General Constantino Chiwenga, the Zimbabwean Army Chief who led the military takeover that saw the end of Robert Mugabe‘s 37-year rule, has been sworn in as one of 2 Vice Presidents, News24 reports.
Chiwenga, who retired from the military just last week, taking the oath of office, promised to be “faithful” and to “obey, uphold and defend the constitution.”
“I will discharge my duties with all my strength and to the best of my knowledge and ability,” he said.
Kembo Mohadi, a long serving minister, was installed as the second Vice President, the two to serve under former Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Makorokoto. Congratulations. May God richly bless the newest democratic nation of Africa. This marks the rebirth of the "House of Stones" (Zimbabwe). Now we have a nation OF Africans, BY Africans, FOR Africans. And now, may all the SANCTIONS imposed on THIS NEWEST DEMOCRATIC NATION OF AFRICA, Zimbabwe, be LIFTED by the INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, Please. This nation is only 37 years old since she wrestled power from Britian in 1980. SOCIO-POLITICAL growth has taken place. Independence has truly BEEN attained. WE ARE ON OUR OWN NOW. The challenge, now, is the attainment of SOCIO-ECONOMIC independence. Given the right economic support, Zimbabwe could well become the fastest growing Agriculturral-based economy among her peers of nations in Africa. THANK GOD ALMIGHTY. WE ARE FREE AT LAST. MAKOROKOTO.
They will be worse than Mugabe era.
