Emmerson Mnangagwa was born at Zvishavane in 1942. His recorded nationality is Zimbabwe. He was educated at University of London and University of Zambia.
Twentieth-century politics was conducted under the shadow of two world wars, decolonisation and the Cold War, and broadcast to electorates that could watch it happen.
The record of office reads: Minister of National Housing and Social Amenities (2005–2009), President of Zimbabwe (from 2017) and Finance Minister (1995–1996).
