Mnangagwa is being sworn in as Zimbabwe’s president after Robert Mugabe resigned on Tuesday, ending his 37-year rule. “Our economic policy will be directed for job, job, job creation,” Mnangagwa told the crowd of 60,000 witnessing his inauguration at a stadium in the capital, Harare. You, me, all of us who make up this nation,” Mnangagwa said, urging the millions of frustrated Zimbabweans who have left the country to return. “All foreign investment will be safe in Zimbabwe,” Mnangagwa said, addressing fears following Mugabe’s moves to nationalize lucrative resources such as diamonds, platinum and gold. She said she hoped Mnangagwa would learn from the errors of his predecessor, and acknowledged that Zimbabwe’s future is unknown.
