A seven-year-old girl called out to President Mnangagwa during his ZITF tour with Mozambican President Chapo. Little Tinashe Tsekiso Mutemi shouted his name as both leaders walked past crowds heading toward the Defense Forces display. The President stopped and looked around, asking who had called him. Tinashe waved her hand excitedly from where she stood with her sister.
President Mnangagwa walked over to greet the child. He reached into his jacket pocket for a US$100 bill, which he gave her. People nearby clapped as others filmed the moment on their phones. Tinashe thanked him with a bright smile spreading across her face.
The girl later said she felt happy seeing the President in person for the first time. She mentioned the money would help her family. Her thirteen-year-old sister Kemuso had tried stopping her from shouting. Mnangagwa often shows kindness toward children at events like the Independence Day Children's Party he hosts with First Lady Dr. Auxillia Mnangagwa each year.
