Mnangagwa blocked from leaving Zim

Former Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa was subjected to a thorough security search yesterday before he was stopped from leaving Zimbabwe for the Mozambican port city of Beira by police manning the Forbes Border Post in Mutare.

Apart from blocking Mnangagwa from leaving Zimbabwe for Mozambique, suspected intelligence operatives and plain-clothed police officers also held and detained one of his sons, David, for several hours — in ominous developments which analysts said yesterday spell big problems for the once untouchable former Zanu PF strongman.
