Speaking in a radio interview this morning, presidential spokesperson George Charamba said that the Shutdown Zimbabwe situation is not the main reason President Mnangagwa came back to the country. He said the main reason was the British, Germans and French were not going to Davos so there was no point in attending. Charamba said Zimbabwe crisis was a “residual” reason.

Zimbabwe’s president Emmerson Mnangagwa is in Russia, beginning a five-nation tour which will end next week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. He’s trying to drum up business, especially in mining and agriculture, but the trip takes him away from Zimbabwe at a time of fuel shortages and angry protests at home.
