Acting President Emmerson Mnangagwa confirmed President Robert Mugabe has left his usual Singapore holiday retreat for China.
Mnangagwa revealed that he had struggled to reach Mugabe over the hero status of former Mashonaland West provincial governor Peter Chanesta who died earlier this week.
I tried talking to the President this morning and will talk to him again later today (Tuesday). He is in China. I saw in the papers that the province is requesting something and we will pass on the message to our leader who will give us guidance.
