that Mnangagwa left Harare headed for Mozambique through Mary Mount, outside Mutare, where he was then taken to Beira, before taking a plane to Lanseria Airport, North of Johannesburg.
He was flown by a Zimbabwean South African-based businessman, Justice Maphosa. Maphosa owns Bigtime Strategic Group.
Mnangagwa was taken to Maphosa’s house in Pretoria, where he stayed for two weeks until his return. Maphosa has given detailed interviews on several occasions, saying he stayed with Mnangagwa in his house.
A book titled In the Jaws of The Crocodile by journalist Ray Ndlovu, based on various accounts with members of Mnangagwa’s family, differs from the narrative in the latest book.
Ndlovu’s book details Mnangagwa’s “great escape” through Beira where he would eventually escape into South Africa and not China.
