Chamisa Deeply Hurt as Mnangagwa Ignores Him at Botswana Inauguration

Nelson Chamisa has revealed that he was hurt after failing to have an opportunity to exchange greetings with President Emmerson Mnangagwa during their recent visit to Botswana.

Chamisa and Mnangagwa joined other politicians and Heads of State and Government in November to witness the inauguration of new Botswana President Duima Gideon Bolo at the National Stadium in Gaborone.

Despite being in the same venue, the former Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader and President Mnangagwa did not manage to even greet each other.
