Who is the man in the picture below?

The man is Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, born 15, September 1942. He is a Zimbabwean revolutionary and politician who has served as President of the country of Zimbabwe since 24 November 2017.

A longtime ally of former President Robert Mugabe, he held a series of cabinet portfolios and he was Mugabe's Vice President until November 2017, when he was dismissed before coming to power in a coup d'état. He secured his first full term as president in the disputed 2018 general election.

Mnangagwa was born in 1942 in Shabani, Southern Rhodesia, to a large Shona family. His parents were farmers, and in the 1950s he and his family were forced to move to Northern Rhodesia because of his father's political activism. There he became active in anti-colonial politics, and in 1963 he joined the newly formed Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army, the militant wing of the Zimbabwe African National Union.

Mnangagwa's ascendancy was opposed by Mugabe's wife, Grace Mugabe, and her Generation 40 political faction. Mugabe dismissed Mnangagwa from his positions in November 2017, and he fled to South Africa. Soon after, General Constantino Chiwenga, backed by elements of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces and members of Mnangagwa's Lacoste political faction, launched a coup. After losing support, Mugabe resigned, and Mnangagwa returned to Zimbabwe to assume the presidency. He is known in his home province of Midlands as "the Godfather".
