Zimbabwe’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa has dismissed speculation in local media of a rift with his deputy.
Mr Mnangagwa said that he and Constantino Chiwenga understood each other better than anybody thought.
He said this was the result of strong ties dating back to the independence struggle in the 1970s.
President Mnangagwa also defended the response of Zimbabwe’s security forces to last month’s anti-government protests that left 12 people dead.
He dismissed foreign criticism, and claimed western countries had sponsored the violence.
