“His Excellency, the President, will spend his vacation locally and will remain accessible for responsibilities that require his direct involvement, both in his capacity as Head of State and as Chairman of the Southern African Development Community (SADC),” said Mr Charamba.
During the President’s absence from routine duties, the two Vice Presidents, Kembo Mohadi and Constantino Chiwenga, will act on his behalf in that order.
