President Emmerson Mnangagwa is in neighbouring South Africa to attend an outreach meeting organised for African leaders by the BRICS group.

BRICS is an acronym for the five major emerging economies which make up the group, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

Mnangagwa’s South Africa visit was confirmed by the country’s department of international relations and cooperation (DIRCO), which released a picture of Mnangagwa and the neighbouring country’s President Cyril Ramaphosa late Thursday afternoon.
