The President of Zimbabwe, Emmerson Mnangagwa addressed mourners without wearing a mask in Tanzania yesterday.

In an event that was attended by many people from different countries, the Zimbabwean President did not wear a mask at a time when people are dying due to Covid-19 pandemic, a pandemic that kills everyone regardless of wealth status.

The President of Zimbabwe is always preaching about abiding to Covid-19 guidelines which include proper wearing of mask whereas he addressed a crowd without wearing a mask.

In his speech, Mnangagwa said John Pombe Magufuli established a reputation as a man of action in order to develop Tanzania.

“He was a true Pan African who believed in the need for Africa, to increase economic cooperation and trade for the benefits of our peoples, and he was the lead from the front, who was passionate about the welfare of his people and the development and prosperity of Africa,” said Mnangagwa.

The event was attended by many African leaders including the President of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta, Cyril Ramaphosa, Mogkwetsi, among others.

However, the President is back in the country. He landed yesterday.

The President is expected to receive his first Jab of Sinovac vaccine in Victoria Falls on Wednesday.
