People gather outside Harare's airport to welcome former Zimbabwean vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa, on Wednesday, in Harare. The speaker of Zimbabwe's Parliament confirmed former vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa is expected to be sworn in as the African nation's leader on Nov. 24, three days after Robert Mugabe announced his resignation. People walk past a wall with a graffiti reading “We want Garwe,” referring to Emmerson Mnangagwa, on Nov. 15, in Harare, Zimbabwe. In speeches, Grace Mugabe called him a “coup plotter.” After Mnangagwa fell ill last summer, Grace Mugabe had to deny that she had attempted to poison him with ice cream from a dairy farm she owned. “The snake must be hit on the head,” said Grace Mugabe, giving Mnangagwa a new reptilian identity.
