- Speaking at Davos, Zimbabwe's President Emmerson Mnangagwa tells Richard Quest that the country is "Open for Business" but protecting human rights for its citizens are not in his mandate.

Well done ED for standing your ground without stammering. Zimbabwe is for Zimbabweans and we make our own laws regardless of what anyone is doing.
How did that turns out? Inflation and famine lol
@@Bolognabeef right. Because gay rights will improve the economy
Well done our president! I feel so proud being a Zimbabwean hearing your cam and firm responses to such a hot issue.
i liked the way his excellency answered his silly questions
Thank you Mr. President for preserving our dignity at a very high stage. I am sure your responses resonate with the view of the generality of Zimbabweans. We are a God-fearing nation and yes its true that we have more important issues to be debating than gay rights.
FOR SURE 100%
I respect President Mnangagwa for this answer! This world needs God!
Mnangagwa stood his ground diplomatically. I don’t support his party but I support what he said and how he said it
I second that 👏👏👏
True
the man stood his ground and he stood by our principle as Zimbabwe, we are moving in the opposite direction in terms of gay rights. we say no to homosexual relationships as Zimbabwe
Respect our President.
Ronald Maravanyika your President does not deserve respect
Ronald Maravanyika Machende ako iwe na President.
faith maforo God bless Zimbabwe

At the time when western countries were developing itself (way back in the 18th century), they never had it in their priority to legalize any form of same sex relationship. Instead, they focused on expanding their influence across the globe through colonization. The discussion of same sex relationship or marriage is a huge distraction to the government and people of all African nations. African nations cannot afford any form of distraction. There're more important issues in Africa to resolve than the legalization of same-sex marriage. I believe that same-sex relationship will grow into being accepted by the people of Africa at some point, but for the time-being, African nations have other things to worry about like creating an environment that'll encourage its people to work, invent, invest, and leave happy in Africa. Western journalists are notoriously known for pushing the button too far, especially on agendas related to same-sex relationship. I think everything is a process. A time will come when things will be good in Africa, but for now, things aren't. I think African nations should not be forced in running into a future that they're not prepared for. I advice western nations to assist African nations in finding the right feet to walk, then encourage them to walk on their own independently before proposing the idea of asking them to run like other developed countries in the world.
you are very wise sir, an oasis of wisdom indeed.
Thank you Sir!
very true, this Quest guy did not weigh his questions right
Agreed with your comment. However, your advice isn't one that the west is willing to take on, they need Africa weak and non-competitive because that means cheap access to resources at bottom rates and its colonialism 2.0.
well said
The way this journalist Richard Quest is pointing his fingers at the President is so disrespectful.
Absolutely the guy has no manners should have stopped the interview
Richard Quest must remember that we are above animals.Human Rights are Naturally normal.Well done Mr President ED Mnangwagwa .There are far more better priorities , than same sex relationships.Please don't Push Other nations into things that are not natural.Those who choose,go on and don't infect others by unnatural relationships.We are not backward or primitive,we are normal and thanks Mr PRESIDENT for not compromising your dignity and others who think the same.Same sex relationships are by choice,like being a thief,a murderer.
I love this reply so much on point lwt them marry each other we don't want that here
Nuff respect ED we must not be forced to support what we dont want.Zim is a independent country.
mr quest, endai munofa
Zimbabwe is focused on economic revival, iwe wongosimbirira nhau dze bonde, kwanai mdara
"... even pigs know their partners ...."
Mr Journalist you should understand that if Mr President shows any sign of advocating for gay rights , he may as well kiss his votes goodbye. 90% of Zimbabweans are openly, openly aganist gay rights ... its thier culture that they uphold dearly so do not grill him to much on that.
The journalist as a reputation for being like this. The President wanted someone who would grill him. If he wanted an easy time he would have done the interview with the BBC.
You can say that over and over again. I had some tough time containing my tempers towards that swine so called journalist.
Agreed
Respect to Mr. Mnagagwa! He stated that he is a Constitutionalist!
AfriAsian newewo pfutseke. Why respect a murder.
On the issue of homosexuality, thumbs Up Mr president for standing against it. We are still sensible enough, let those of loose minds do that in their nations. We will never be persuaded into tht.
But is not
these are not tough questions but stupid questions
I would say those were some gay questions. But yeah, not tough or good questions at all.
Really stupid questions
Vimbai Mupesa true
lol i agree stupid questions indeed
as our former president once said "WE ARE NOT GAYS"
I'm a gay Zimbabwean and I have many, many, many LGBTQ+ Zimbabwean friends, of every race, gender, and religion ;)
You can say that again.

The only thing I will ever agree with Mugabe on.
Just homeless
I just lost respect for Mr Quest , Zimbabwe has a lot of issues to deal with and he chose to ask about gay rights lol be serious my guy . We as Zimbabweans we not even worried about that , those are rich countries problems , for now we want to build our beloved country . I'm anti zanu pf but i have to agree with ED on this one.
i just lost respect aswell
Just wasted precious tims
I am not Zimbabwean, but I agree with President ED 100%.
Pamhata pequest
Human rights are not a trivial matter. If you(ED) cannot value your fellow man's freedoms then how else can you be expected to make headway for the people of Zimbabwe. Your conservatism is your choice, and it should not represent the collective identity of Zimbabwe.
This is the type of leaders we need in Africa thank you President ED Mnangagwa. Keep on telling these people the truth we should not bent our ways just to impress them. Another thing these people are not the ones who have the ability to make human right even us Africans we know our human rights. We dont need whites to define human right for us
Thank you Mr President for standing for that which is right!
Well said Mr President. What sort of a business interview focuses on sexuality. These westerners fail to understand that culture is not imposed. This big brother syndrome needs to end. If as Zimbabweans we are against same sex its our right to deny it. Why advocate for something the populace is against.There are more pressing issues for Zimbabwe. Are they coming to invest in businesses or same sex marriage. #respectothercultuers
kudakwashe marapira It's how they distract from their own government's violent and exploitative intentions.
kudakwashe marapira yet the western countries fight for African or Blacks in America.
kudakwashe marapira the interviewer is focusing on a human Rights issue , Zanu PF has destroyed Zimbabwe and any regards to human life
Goolam Dawood true
@@GoolamDawood homosexuality isn't a culture. Its a way in which people are born and cannot change. Oppressing LGBTQ people is not justifiable.
Well done Mr President well done!!!
Blessing Tafirenyika machende ako nxaaa neZANU PF uchamama pa5 years dzinotevera nemabond notes. Eco cash.
Viva Mr President E.D Mnangagwa for standing for our African values God bless you
I never thought one day I would ever like anything coming out of his mouth, but, this time I actually do. Thank you Mr President
I understand now, Richard Quest is gay.. please keep that life style for your community not ZIMBABWE!
Please keep your homophobia within your borders. We do not tolerate homophobes in the progressing world.
@@jitterycursor8823 amen 👏👏🏳️🌈
@@jitterycursor8823 And please don't force us to accept your gay culture. Fair & square!
Zimbabwe will never be gay. We won't sell our values
Weldone my president. Thank you for standing for what is right. God bless you and God bless Zimbabwe.🇿🇼
Well done Mr President, very much in line with our culture 👏
Well done Mr President Munangagwa good answer I'm coming back home but I don't money need money from you to start my busines to build our Zimbabwe
Well done Mr President surely we have to prioritize the important pressing issues. Very glad you went on to point them out. This Same sex issue, I believe, is an issue you should be asked on after your first term in office given that you are the people's choice in this upcoming election.
No. The same sex issue should be fought vigorously.
Great president of Zimbabwe ✊🏽 I like this man, lord keep this president in the position forever 🙏🏽Rise Zimbabwe from Ashes✊🏽✊🏽
stay STRONG ZIMBABWE!!!!!!!!!!!
Same sex relations will never be a priority to us. The President knows his people and speaks for them
I can't stand the current government but the most important thing for people right now is getting access to water and food..
Richard Quest should be respectful and accept our culture. Its foolhardy for him to disrespect our President and try to force him into a position about gays. This is nonsensical. The President did well to stand firm.
personally i thought it was a business meeting but all respect lost for Mr Quest ...we are NOT and we won`t` advocate for gay rights in ZIMBABWE ....y would a man fall in love with another man that`s totally insane... even common sense go contrary to that motion... what would be the essence of people having different sex? ...God help
Well done Mr President!
Ndinomboshora murume uyu but since l've seen this interview l've grown respect to my President Emerson Munangagwa'🙌🙏❤️❤️❤️
Social media has clogged our brains into believing that what we are shown instead of what is actual.
Mnangagwa gas a good point there ... Like honestly how do one put gay marriage as a priority when the economy of Zimbabwe is as it is right now....right now the priority is to boost the Zimbabwean economy and build a sustainable future for the Zimbabweans other to be worried about gay marriage ....how can a man think of even getting married to another men when they a centless and hungry and jobless .... my point is let's focus on the things that matter and stop confusing ourselves with things that won't put food on the table
how is prioritizing "THAT" going to put bread in the basket Mr Quest?
In 2023 I'm here just to say this White Man is NUTS
for that you have my vote #EDhasmyvote
JoinForceswithKings of course he has your vote , he's denying gay people's rights so he can get your vote and continue to deny your rights
What are the real issues here? You honestly need to re-assess your priorities. Your vote is plunging Zim into the same darkness of yesteryear.
For once i support ED
I feel very proud of President Emerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa.
You are very resolute, articulate and intelligent. May God bless you.
Good interview, so where did it all go wrong MR president?
we just need to pray for Zimbabwe
Im proud of you President Munangangwa you dont take nonsense
im really proud as Muslim and African by his answers.
Mugabe had a problem with same reporter and now he is trying Manangagwa on the same topic. 🤣🤣🤣
This journalist I''am shocked God is really watching us all....Thank you Mr President.
Way to go Mr President. You Made our country proud and we will not uphold nor entertain such nonsense. We are a Jehovah fearing nation, and we are not Sodom and Gomorrah.
We let you marry each other we don't crave for that here and we will never ever be in need for that. Do it to your own Countries but that's nothing to admire for
That question of gay rights in Zim is not a tough question at all..
Zimbabwe is Open to Business...Zimbabwe is Open to Trump👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
There is nothing called gay rights wen it comes to ZIMBABWE God doesn't make mistakes no no no .....salute Mr President 🇿🇼
Gay rights may be a priority for the western world, however, what Quest misses here is the context of the Zimbabwean situation. Regardless of what the world thinks, ED Mnangagwa campaigning for gay rights would be the death of his political life. I can understand how this must be baffling to him living in the United States just as the Gun Rights are confusing to much of the world. President Mnangagwa cannot at this juncture push for gay rights at this moment. Quest is conveniently ignoring a constitution because this issue was addressed and the people of the country voted against granting those rights as an affront to their moral standing. Wrong or Right, Mr Quest must understand this context rather attempt to shove it down the throats of a people not ready for his version of human rights. It is rather ominous his attempt to link FDI to gay rights. This is what angers the developing world. Countries must be allowed to progress within their context and it a pace suitable to it, it took the US more than 100 years and many movements to get to the level of human rights consciousness that they now have.
I personally have no problems with gay rights, but I totally understand the view of my people and why the President cannot champion this campaign at this time.
Clement Siby Gay rights are not a priority in Western states. They are a red herring issue to distract from their serious social inequality.
You are right Mkoma. I believe that these Western/American journalists/activists, know the context of Zimbabwe and how gay rights are viewed, they do. They know that is a non issue in most African countries. The reason why they push it,- Is simply because it is the new movement of social progress. Here is where I am at: the fast track is for Economic development is tolerance and acceptance not all that free and fair elections The President is talking about, the west cares less about that than they do for gay rights. If Gay rights are granted in Zimbabwe, suddenly we will become the most accepting and progressive African country ready for investment. It will put us on the World map as a Nation of people ready to work with the world and I think our Government should put aside whatever bigotry and homophobia they have for the sake of our county. Here is a thought experiment, would you compromise your deeply held beliefs if it would save your children's lives or get your mother medical treatment she needs?, I would!, that doesn't make me a sellout or a man with no integrity, rather it makes me a person who love their family so much that they will do anything to take care of them. Fighting the United states and Western Europe/common wealth is a waste of time, we are the ones who will suffer, we have suffered enough already, Let the gay people have rights. Because if im being honest, sooner or later / somehow Zimbabwe and Africa will embrace gay rights. Remember its not even a decade ago that gay marriage was legal in USA, They also denied gay rights at some point, their politicians were Homophobic at some point and most of them still are but now its political suicide in USA to be openly homophobic. The world is progressing, lets progress with it. Yes we may not like this kind of progress but we don't pick and chose how the world progresses we accept and adapt. Its a matter of time, so why not pay it forward, lets do it now in Zimbabwe and be a pioneer and ripe the benefits sooner.
Those are your thoughts. In Zimbabwe, we are still battling with early marriages and other human right problems. Mind you I'm currently in Australia and the Same Sex Marriage bill that passed was much more of a political move and the process is not done yet but its because a few group of people want to stay in power they end up pushing this things.
Fantastic Mr president you have represented Zimbabwe and Africa very well you have articulated it very well um proud to be a Zimbabwean
I've got some questions for you Richard! why'd ya do it Richard Why??? why why why why why, Come on Richard fess up already!
I'm sorry but why would Zimbabwe need members from the EU to monitor an African election ? Does this work vice versa ?
Thank you for getting that advice from HIS Exellecncy ambassador, THE prophet, and prophets of our nation
Welldone Mr. President.
thump to E.D on refusing same sex activities. I was afraid all these years that you are more likely to give in to same sex marriage. thanks thanks Mr Man
5:25 I liked how Pres. Emerson Mnangagwa changed his sitting posture to tell this journalist straight on the face what the priorities of Zim are. Down with homosexuality down.
Bravo to ED.
Well done Mr. President, hang on to your beliefs we are with you and we support you...we don't want this gay or trans culture here in Africa...and please don't force it on us...go and force Russia, China or who ever...
The only time l am impressed with my President .
Thank you Munangagwa once and for all you have represented Zimbabwe, Zim it's majority who declares same sex marriage. He is right leave him.
What he is left for only is to hand power to the next president. He is right leave him. Davos we decide our future
Trying to put words in another man's mouth as always.....smh
I am going to heaven
I respect you my President 1 vote from me keep up the good work garwe
100% good mr P
Patrick Mudau Machende ako nxaaa naMunangagwa.
Not in Zimbabwe if they want to marry each other why they don't make kidz viva President Munangagwa you are a good leader you don't agree with nonsense
I don't belong to any party but I only support what is good accordingly depending on what is God says in bible
How can a country function for who when the people ain't happy and not fully given their rights even those like the small gift of having to love freely make your people happy allow them to express themselves more those are the people that will generate income for you as a country and help the country build stronger relationships and walls with other countries
Thank you Mr president you show them you're God fearing president 👏👏👏
Come on now! He is a man and standing strong on
Standing strong on his views for Zimbabwe. Like he said there country doesn't bother western culture and you can not force some from Zimbabwe to be a follower. Talk about taken their provisions away and God says the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous. Fear the lord not man.
The colonialist is quite arrogant. What part of 'NO' does he not understand?
At the moment we are not bothered by western human rights. Is he also not sounding arrogant and disrespectful. This is Zim Africa not Europe. He who wants a certain right should go where it is found.
Quest is just reckless
No same sex in Africa it’s haram
thank you my president
YOU DONT POINT TWO FINGERS AT A HEAD OF STATE MR. QUEST!!!!!!. IT BECOMES AN INTERROGATION NOT AN INTERVIEW. SO DISRESPECTFUL
faridah mercy the president of Zimbabwe is a murderous thug and doesn't deserve any respect
For the first time Im proud of our President. This Westerner are manipulative
We are Africans, we don't believe in the same sexual relationship.
Lots of talk no action. At least he stood up against same sex relationships
Yes president keep it up❤
"Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you and all your household will be saved." (Bible - Acts 16:31)
Pamberi neGarwe! Behold His Excellency President Emmerson Mnagagwa!
I support u
why does Richard think opening up gay rights means we will become more modern. I believe Zimbabwe will become the last nation in Africa to allow that, it is not in our culture. Yes, we are western to the point that u can have a good conversation with an old man in the streets in English even as Zimbabweans having influential positions in the diaspora but we have morals and standards we grow up with. ZvemuTV zvekuUS and SA ndopazvinogumira, we are intelligent enough to know "1+1=2"
Well answered by the president
Lets Fix the economy. That's the main priority and same sex marriage nor relationship will ever be entertained.
I think I wouldn't have allowed the journalist to talk with his fingers on my face..but anyone should canvass for their own seemingly obstructed rights..That's how we develop..we dont just agree to everything..as much as colonialism was protested for a long time without any ear until someone realised he is outnumbered and needs slaves to help in war tactics..
That's not living in the past!!! YOU LIVE in your future we say no to gays here!!! Don't force us to do that
Thank you Mr President for standing your ground against this imperialist ideology!!!
yesaya garwe usaitiswe pasi nengochani
haaa wangue wandifadza ndiwe wanyatsonyora nerurimi rwaamai zvandanga ndichifunga
Well done sir
Respect human rights
I hate if someone is talking while pointing 👉 on someone, to me, it seems like disrespectful.
I respect your opinions my president. Guys rights or not isn't the priority for now
