Vice Presidents Dr Constantino Chiwenga and Kembo Mohadi will alternate as acting presidents in the absence of Dr Emmerson Mnangagwa, who has begun his traditional month-long leave.

In a statement, Deputy Chief Secretary, Presidential Communications, George Charamba, noted that President Mnangagwa’s leave may, however be interrupted if matters arise that require his personal attention, adding he intends to spend the break in the country.

“The two Vice Presidents, Gen (Retd) Dr C.G.D.N Chiwenga and Col (Retd) K.C.D. Mohadi, will take turns to act while the President is on leave,” Charamba said.
