Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa and loyalists are actively promoting personality cult politics in a bid to support their campaign for him to extend his rule beyond his 2028 second term constitutional limit to 2030.
Personality cult politics refers to a political culture where a leader’s image, charisma, and authority are exaggerated and revered, often to the point of becoming a cult-like phenomenon.
The North Korean-style of politics, which started with the late former president Robert Mugabe in post-colonial Zimbabwe, often leads to brutal authoritarianism, political repression, suppression of criticism and dissent, coercion and human rights abuses, impunity, erosion of institutions and lack of accountability.
This video shows Mnangagwa arriving at the the High-Level Structured Dialogue Platform Forum: Arrears Clearance and Debt Resolution Process at the Harare International Conference Centre today in the morning.

The dialogue to deal with the country’s debt problem, a drag on the economy, was attended by Finance minister Mthuli Ncube, former Mozambican president Joachim Chissano and African Development Bank president Akinwumi Adesina.
Mnangagwa, who says he is of the Shumba Murambwi totem, is being lionised in this video, consistent with his delusions of grandeur promoted by his political allies and supporters.
