SADC leader President Emmerson Mnangagwa has come underfire for congratulating Mozambique’s ruling party before election results have been released.
Mnangagwa prematurely extended a congratulatory message to Felipe Nyusi while addressing the 379th Ordinary Session of the ZANU PF Politburo in Harare.
“Comrades; I congratulate our sister revolutionary Party, Frelimo and the President-Elect, His Excellency, Cde Daniel Chapo as well as the people of Mozambique on their resounding victory during the recently held elections”, said Mnangagwa.
He added that ZANU PF stands ready to cement the long-existing revolutionary unity between the two parties and countries.
Mozambique’s election was marred by alleged rigging and violence.
