HARARE, April 23 (Xinhua) -- The following are the news highlights in Zimbabwe's major media outlets on Monday.

-- Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa has pledged leadership by consensus as he works to transform Zimbabwe's economy.

-- Zimbabwe is deriving tremendous mileage from government's ongoing re-engagement drive as interest in the country has intensified across the globe, Foreign Affairs and International Trade Minister Sibusiso Moyo has said.

Addressing the Zimbabwean Diaspora at a four-hour interactive luncheon at Zimbabwe House over the weekend, Moyo, who is in London at the invitation of British Secretary of State for Foreign and Commenwealth Affairs Boris Johnson, described his meeting with his British counterpart as "superb".

-- Former Zimbabwean First Lady Grace Mugabe has formed a trust company, Trustees of the Grace Mugabe Foundation, as she scales up her fight to take over gold claims at Smithfield Farm in Mazowe.
