Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa's life history remains a mystery to the majority of his fellow citizens. There are so many versions of Mnangagwa's origins and his background. Some say he is originally from Zvishavane in Midlands; some now say Bikita in Masvingo where his father Yasha Mafidi is said to be buried, while others say he is from Zambia. In this video clip, Mnangagwa, speaking in Victoria Falls in Tonga, one of Zimbabwe's 16 official languages, gives yet another version. Although he is Zimbabwean, his life history is obscure and hidden. Mnangagwa has never publicly told his story in detail, dealing with different versions and taking the country into his confidence on the issue as part of authentic leadership and transparency. The roots of authentic leadership come from ancient Greek philosophy which focuses on the development of core, or cardinal, virtues. These virtues are prudence (fair-mindedness, wisdom, seeing all possible courses of action); temperance (being emotionally balanced and in control); justice (being fair in dealings with others); and fortitude (courage to do the right thing). (Riggio,2014). The late former president Robert Mugabe died with so many stories being told about his origins and roots.
