Emmerson Mnangagwa

“I wish to be clear: all foreign investments will be safe in Zimbabwe.”

“Zanu-PF is a sacred party. It will rule and rule. Those barking will continue doing that while Zanu-PF remains in power.”

“You know the trait of a crocodile, don't you? It never hunts outside water. It always goes into the water to catch its prey. It never goes in the villages or in the bush looking for food. It strikes at the appropriate time. So a good guerrilla leader strikes at the appropriate time.”

“We work together. No one is more important than the other. We are all Zimbabweans. We want to grow our economy. We want peace in our country.”

“I was with the former president for over 54 years. I don't regret that; I feel very proud. It was necessary. It is history. Each step where we worked together was a privilege, and in terms of history, that was necessary.”

“Government is a collective unity. There is no decision by cabinet which can be attributed to one individual.”

“We should never remain hostages of our past.”

“We must allow people to agitate for whatever they want. They must be allowed to campaign for their views.”

“The people's voice, as I say, is the voice of God.”

“It's the duty of any government: where there is disregard of the law, that law and order must be instituted.”

“I see myself a humble man, and I tell you I have no ambitions to be president.”

“Capital goes where it feels comfortable and warm, and if it's cold, it runs to a country which gives it better weather.”
