Mbasogo arrived in Zimbabwe on Friday afternoon and signed the condolence book at the Robert Mugabe International Airport in Harare.

Tears streamed down his cheeks as he spoke of the great friendship he enjoyed with Mugabe.

Mbasogo and Mugabe’s friendship was strengthened after Zimbabwe foiled a plot to depose Mbasogo by intercepting mercenaries who had been hired for the job as they passed through the country.

The Zimbabwean army has also assisted Equatorial Guinea in the capacitation of its military services.
