Zimbabwe Foreign Affairs Secretary Ambassador James Manzou has advised diplomats whose presidents will not be travelling for President Emmerson Mnangangwa’s swearing-in to keep off.

“Please be advised that only heads of mission whose heads of state or government are attending the inauguration ceremony will be allowed to come,” he said in a note sent to all missions represented in Harare.

Meanwhile, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi will be representing President William Ruto at the second-term inauguration of President Mnangagwa slated for Monday.

In a statement on Sunday, Mudavadi has said that Kenya underscores the strong relations between the two countries conveying the country’s goodwill message to Mnangagwa on his re-election for the second term.

“On behalf of the government and the people of Kenya, H.E President William Ruto congratulates President-elect, H.E Dr. Emmerson Mnangagwa on his re-election for the second term,” read the statement.
