Mnangagwa bans live elephant trade

After years of effort Zimbabwe's new President Emmerson Mnangagwa has put a stop to the horrendous live elephant trade that took place under President Mugabe's rule. This is truly a moment to celebrate. Mnangagwa has also banned trade in other endangered animals such as rhinos, lions and pangolins.
