A NEW book documenting President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s leadership journey and development agenda is set to be launched in Harare next month, publishers have announced.
Titled Emmerson Mnangagwa: The People’s Leader — A Journey of Vision, Leadership, and Legacy, the book was authored by historian and researcher Edwin Muketiwa Msipa and edited by former Zimbabwe Republic Police Assistant Inspector and publisher Daimon Phiri.
Published by Tepp Publishers, the book explores Mnangagwa’s leadership since assuming office, focusing on the implementation of Vision 2030 and the second republic’s economic transformation agenda.
The publication highlights key national development projects including the expansion of Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport, the Gwayi-Shangani Dam project, the Beitbridge-Harare Highway modernisation programme and Hwange Units 7 and 8 Power Station rehabilitation.
The book also examines agricultural transformation initiatives such as Pfumvudza, rural infrastructure development under devolution and Zimbabwe’s re-engagement policy under the “Zimbabwe is open for business” mantra.
Speaking about the project, Phiri said the book was aimed at documenting national development for future generations.
“Leaders who build nations deserve books that record their work,” said Phiri.
“This is not politics. This is history.”

He added that documentation was important in preserving the country’s development history.
“As former ZRP Press and Public Relations personnel, I understand that documentation protects truth.
“President Mnangagwa’s Vision 2030 projects must be written down so future generations know who built the dams, roads, and airports they will use tomorrow.”
The publication presents Mnangagwa’s leadership philosophy through the slogan “Nyika inovakwa nevene vayo/Ilizwe lakhiwa ngabanikazi balo” — meaning a nation is built by its own people.
The authors say the book seeks to educate citizens on government programmes, inspire young Zimbabweans, and preserve records of national development for students, researchers, and future leaders.
Tepp Publishers described the publication as part of its broader mission to document Zimbabwe’s leadership, heritage and national story.
The official launch of the book is expected in Harare in July 2026, with copies set to be distributed through bookstores, schools, libraries, and government institutions nationwide.
