Emmerson Mnangagwa Inaugurated as President of Zimbabwe

Emmerson Mnangagwa was inaugurated as Zimbabwe's president on Sunday, days after the Constitutional Court dismissed the main opposition's claim that his July 30 election win was rigged. Former President Robert Mugabe's daughter Bona brought a message of congratulations from her father - but Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association spokesperson Douglas Mahiya said Mugabe should "stop acting like a spoilt child".
