President of Zimbabwe Emmerson Mnangagwa gestures during a Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front election campaign rally in Shurugwi on August 19, 2023. AFPPIX: Emmerson Mnangagwa became Zimbabwe's second president after outmanoeuvring long-time ruler Robert Mugabe with a military-backed coup in 2017 -- and at 80 shows no signs of wanting to retire.
Mnangagwa was appointed president after a battle to secure the top job ahead of Mugabe's wife Grace that he initially looked to have lost. His supporters credit him for infrastructure projects including building schools, bridges and repairing roads. Often wearing a suit, he always sports a striped scarf in Zimbabwe's national colours at public appearances.
