Prince Lindani has commended Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s leadership, saying he enjoys Africa’s vote of confidence for preserving the continent’s liberation history and championing development.

The prince led an eight-member delegation to Zimbabwe on Monday and held bilateral discussions with President Mnangagwa at State House on Wednesday.

Speaking during a tour of the Museum of African Liberation in Harare, Prince Lindani said President Mnangagwa’s leadership offered valuable lessons for Africa and encouraged him to continue leading Zimbabwe as he has been doing.

The Museum of African Liberation was conceived as a monument to the struggle to liberate African people from European colonialism and apartheid and is intended to preserve an important part of the continent’s heritage.

“All in all, we are very impressed and we say kudos to His Excellency the President. He has done extremely well, not just with the museum, but in all the other developments which we have been seeing so far here in Zimbabwe,” he said.

Prince Lindani continued to say, “We must say that there is a lot which Africa can learn from a man like himself. He is doing exceptionally well and we are grateful to have a leader like this one in our time. We all look up to him, he is doing extremely well.”

Prince Lindani said the Museum of African Liberation would become a continental landmark once completed and could rank among Africa’s leading tourist destinations, creating significant value for Zimbabwe.

Construction of the multi-million-dollar museum in Liberation City in Warren Park, Harare, is progressing, with the Zimbabwe and Southern African Development Community (SADC) exhibition sections already complete and awaiting final touches.

“It is a facility worth looking at, it is a gem for Africa and I know that once it is complete, it is going to be one of the top tourist destinations in Africa. I know you have Victoria Falls, you have other places as well, but this one will also give Victoria Falls a run for its money. Congratulations on this milestone,” he said.

He also conveyed Eswatini’s well wishes following Zimbabwe’s election to a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council for the 2027–2028 term.

The visit by the Eswatini delegation followed President Mnangagwa’s trip to the kingdom in April this year, where he attended celebrations marking King Mswati III’s 58th birthday and 40 years on the throne.
