Africa-Press<\/a> – Zambia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>President Emmerson Mnangagwa\u2019s spokesperson George Charamba threw all decorum and etiquette expected of him out the window hours before new Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema was inaugurated Tuesday, calling him a sellout.<\/p>\n

At the time President Mnangagwa and Charamba were in Zambia Monday and Tuesday for Hichilema\u2019s inauguration. Charamba\u2019s onslaught was in response to a Twitter post made by the United Kingdom (UK) based law lecturer Alex Magaisa.<\/p>\n

Magaisa had posted a screenshot of Charamba\u2019s May 2021 post referring to Hichilema, MDC Alliance President Nelson Chamisa, and South Africa\u2019s opposition leader, Mmusi Maimane captioned \u201cZvivatengesi,\u201d Shona for sellouts to which he repeated that they are.<\/p>\n

\u201cHongu, zvivatengesi! What is your problem?\u201d quipped Charamba. Chamisa and Maimane also attended the inauguration. Early this week, Charamba also claimed Mnangagwa would not leave office if he lost the 2023 presidential election to Chamisa.<\/p>\n

Hichilema, president of the United People for National Development (UPND) has been leading the opposition for nearly two decades until his electoral triumph last week.<\/p>\n

Hichilema and Chamisa\u2019s cozy relationship has heightened tensions between the MDC Alliance and Zanu PF with lawyer Doug Coltart describing Charamba\u2019s statements as \u201cscandalous\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is scandalous! Mnangagwa\u2019s spokesperson is literally calling Hichilema a sellout while Mnangagwa is in Zambia for Hichilema\u2019s inauguration,\u201d said Coltart.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe speaks for Mnangagwa. He is openly attacking the Head of State of what is historically one of Zimbabwe\u2019s closest allies!\u201d<\/p>\n

In Zambia Tuesday, Mnangagwa held a 30-minute meeting with Hichilema where the two agreed to reactivate joint commissions and implement a series of agreements. Mnangagwa also attacked the West for interfering with democratic processes in African countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very happy President Hichilema showed that he is very focused to make sure that we implement those issues to benefit our people. Today we have witnessed the inauguration of the seventh Executive President of Zambia but this is the third republic because they had some leaders who came from the same political parties,\u201d said Mnangagwa.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can mention that as SADC we are more civilised. When (US) President (Joe) Biden was inaugurated this year in January, Donald Trump boycotted. But we can see here Edgar Lungu accepting defeat and agreeing to the transfer of power and giving instruments of power to the incoming president.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis shows how much democracy has matured in our region compared to the Western countries which want to teach us democracy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
