国际英语资讯:Spotlight: High expectations as Mnangagwa takes helm of post-Mugabe Zimbabwe

"We also need him to come up with a leaner and more efficient Cabinet that is prepared to serve the people first and that is not bent on looting state resources. We don't want patronage and this matter of appointing relatives to Cabinet should stop," he said.

Zengeni said Mnangagwa should also push for the reduction of the size of the presidential motorcade because it was too big.

"But most important of all he should cut down on the number of foreign trips. He should not be an embarrassment to the nation by going to some international conferences and end up being the only foreign head of state attending.

"This is a waste of state resources. The former president was always accompanied by a huge entourage of hangers on and we hope this will stop under his charge," he said.

Peter Chengeta, a bank clerk in capital Harare, said Mnangagwa had less than a year to prove his worth and should, therefore, come up with policies that were investor friendly, uplifted democracy and created an air of harmony in the community.

"He should move away from hate speech. Denigrating his enemies won't take us forward. Let us see a new dispensation in which leaders do not only preach love and unity, but also one in which national healing is allowed to address issues of the past," he said.

Office orderly Amos Muduva, 61, said the government should ease problems at health institutions where patients were not getting the required treatment because of a shortage of resources.
