HARARE- President Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe has requested a meeting with former president Robert Mugabe.
The two former allies are going to meet however no details have been given when and where.

He said, “He requested for a meeting and promised to bring along other leaders (from Zanu PF) so that we could talk.”
Mugabe added that he would not hold back when they meet and would tell Mnangagwa that he and the military acted illegally and lied to the people during his removal.
