Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Thursday said he wanted an independent investigation into the killing of three protesters when soldiers opened fire at election demonstrations, noting that he sought to settle differences “peacefully”.

“We believe in transparency and accountability, and those responsible should be identified and brought to justice,” he said, adding that his government was in communication with opposition leader Nelson Chamisa.
