president mnangagwa joins african leaders for angola’s golden jubilee of independence president emmerson mnangagwa has departed harare for luanda, angola, where he will join other heads of state and government to attend angola’s 50th independence anniversary commemorations. the commemorations mark half a century since angola gained independence from portugal in 1975, with the event expected to draw regional and international dignitaries in celebration of the nation’s milestone achievement.
“the event is expected to have approximately 10,000 national guests, representing all segments of society, in addition to a massive press presence, with around 350 journalists accredited to cover the ceremony.” president mnangagwa was seen off at the robert gabriel mugabe international airport by vice presidents general (rtd) dr constantino chiwenga and colonel (rtd) dr kembo mohadi, along with cabinet ministers, service chiefs and senior government officials. angola helped other southern african countries, including zimbabwe, in the fight against colonialism. under the people’s movement for the liberation of angola (mpla), angola provided bases, training and ammunition to zimbabwe’s freedom fighters, leading to independence in 1980.
since then, the two countries have cooperated in various fields and are always seeking ways of deepening bilateral ties. previous articleaprm hails zimbabwe’s developmental progress amid sanctionsnext articlewarm reception for president mnangagwa in luanda as angola marks 50 years of independence previous articleaprm hails zimbabwe’s developmental progress amid sanctions aprm hails zimbabwe’s developmental progress amid sanctions source: zbc news
