Zimbabwe's Mnangagwa announces 'unfolding full democracy'
Zimbabwe's incoming leader Emmerson Mnangagwa said the country was witnessing a "new and unfolding democracy" in his first public speech.
He was addressing a huge crowd outside ruling party's headquarters, speaking hours after returning to the country. He fled earlier this month after his firing by Robert Mugabe, who resigned on Tuesday under pressure from the military and ruling party.
Mnangagwa is finishing his speech in Shona. He's saying on Friday several heads of state have promised to be here. Says he has received messages of support from other leaders pledging their support
