*I Will Not Overstay Even If People Love Me, I Want To Entrench Constitutionalism: Mnangagwa* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?br President Emmerson Mnangagwa has said that he will not overstay as president because he wants to entrench constitutionalism in the country.

Even if the people love me, I will still go away because I believe constitutionalism is important. In fact, we must give people the chance to have other leaders. Ten years is not a short period. In my view, it’s quite a long period; and if you have a vision, a period long enough to implement your vision. *Related:* *Full Text: President Mnangagwa’s Interview With CNN’s Christine Amanpour* *I Will Be Around In 2030: Mnangagwa Hints At More Than Two Terms* *Generals Want Mnangagwa To Run For Maximum Of Two Terms* ---------- *Latest itel S24 now available on Pindula* $124 Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.
