He credited Mnangagwa with spearheading regional development projects, citing the Beitbridge–Harare–Chirundu Highway, the Mbudzi Traffic Interchange, the expansion of Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport’s VIP pavilion, and the commissioning of Hwange Units 7 and 8, which added new power to the national grid and beyond.

Mnangagwa handed over the SADC chairmanship to Madagascar’s President Andry Rajoelina at the 45th summit hosted in Harare last week. “On that very day, Madagascar and Mauritius signed the Agreement Amending the Treaty, bringing to 15 the members that have signed up — thanks to the leadership prowess of His Excellency, the President,” Shamu said.

He went on to claim that Zimbabwe had received commendation from fellow member states for “lifting regional integration to new heights,” adding:“This proves that Zimbabwe does not simply occupy a seat in SADC — Zimbabwe leads, Zimbabwe inspires, and Zimbabwe delivers.

Let us then commend His Excellency, Dr Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, for his distinguished tenure, and may the foundations he laid continue to guide our region towards unity, peace and shared prosperity. ”Shamu, once Robert Mugabe’s most loyal cheerleader — he once famously said he wished he were Mugabe’s son — has in recent years redirected his effusive praise towards Mnangagwa.
