Emmerson Mnangagwa sworn in as Zimbabwe's new president

Tens of thousands of people packed the National Sports Stadium in Zimbabwe's capital, Harare, to witness the inauguration of Emmerson Mnangagwa as Zimbabwe's new president.
 
In his address to the people, President Mnangagwa vowed to serve all citizens. 
    
He said he felt deeply humbled to take the role.
    
He also paid tribute to his predecessor Robert Mugabe.
    
Mr. Mugabe left office dramatically this week after 37 years of authoritarian rule.
   
His departure followed a power struggle in which Mr. Mnangagwa was sacked as vice president to pave the way for Grace Mugabe, to take up the presidency.
