Emmerson Mnangagwa has been sworn in as Zimbabwe's president in a ceremony this morning at a packed stadium in the country's capital, Harare.
His swearing in ceremony follows the dramatic resignation of Robert Mugabe after 37 years. The former vice-president's dismissal earlier this month led the ruling Zanu-PF party and the army to intervene and force Mr Mugabe to quit.
