Mnangagwa paid Renamo bandits $2000 when they threatened to kill him with AK47

Emmerson Mnangagwa tossed a US$2,000 bribe into the hands of a Renamo bandit who had pointed an AK rifle on his head during his famous escape from then President Robert Mugabe in November last year.

This was revealed by the new President’s son, Mnangagwa Junior while giving a riveting account of how the then Vice President skipped the country hours after he had been sacked from government by Mugabe.

It has also emerged the country’s number one was a prolific baby-making machine who has fathered 18 children.

Mnangagwa was fired as VP by Mugabe in November last year on alleged “disloyalty, disrespect, deceitfulness and unreliability”.

His sacking was a culmination of intense vilification by Mugabe’s wife, Grace who persistently accused him of harbouring a plot to dethrone her husband.

When he got fired, Mnangagwa lost no time in making good his widely publicised escape to South Africa via the Mozambican border.

His son revealed that Mnangagwa had a life threatening  experience when Zimbabwe border guards threatened to shoot him. He escaped and found himself dicing with death while walking in a landmine zone, steep mountains and caves as he fled towards Mozambique from Mugabe.

In Mozambique they met an armed gang of Renamo bandits who threatened to shoot Mnangagwa but had to let him go after he bribed their leader with $2000.
