Following the take over of Robert Mugabe's government by the military in Zimbabwean on Wednesday, many Zimbabweans have expressed happiness over the development, even as they still attest that they can't tell what the future may bring for them.



93-year-old Robert Mugabe as the President of Zimbabwe has long ruled the people since 1980 after Independence and many Zimbabweans are seriously hoping that it comes to an end following the current development.

“We are happy with what has been done,” Keresenzia Moyo, 65, a housewife told AFP after visiting a hospital in the capital.

“We needed change. Our situation has been pathetic. The economy has been in the doldrums for a very long time.

“What is good is that this has happened at the top and it is not affecting us people on the ground. People could be killing each other.”

The 65-year-old woman said she doesn't mind if Mugabe is allowed to go on exile despite his height of impunity of corruption, election vote-rigging, and other brutal occurrence challenging human rights.

Robert Mugabe who is currently under house arrest led the country to independence.

The country which was known as African farm for food product has been overturned since this rule.

“What we want is for our children to be able to get jobs and live a normal happy life,” Moyo said.

“We want to have food on the table, not one side having everything and others dying of hunger. Mugabe was once a good person but he lost it. Now we need a fresh start.”

‘We need some kind of direction’

The military has argued and denied that it is not a coup, explaining that Mugabe is still president.

“We don’t know what this all means and we don’t know what to do,” Karen Mvelani, 21, a student, told AFP.

“We need some kind of direction on where we are heading.”

The take over of government only interrupted Harare while other regions continue their daily activities.

Zimbabweans have blamed Robert Mugabe for shortage and quick rising prices and economic crisis.

“He was a liability to the country because he was focusing on his leadership, he was a dictator,” said Tafadzwa Masango, a 35-year-old unemployed man.

“Our economic situation has deteriorated every day — no employment, no jobs,” he said. “We hope for a better Zimbabwe after the Mugabe era.

“We feel very happy. It is now his time to go.”

Robert Mugabe removed his vice president, Emmerson Mnangagwa last week, which is expected to have instigated the intervention of the military as Mugabe's wife Grace Mugabe is stepping to be the next president.

Precious Shumba, director of Harare Residents Trust action group, said Zimbabwe was entering “a new phrase”.

“Now at least we break with the past,” she said. “My wish is that they immediately announce a transitional government and state clearly when the country will have the next elections.

“We need a transitional government to rid the country of the toxic politics of patronage, corruption and nepotism.”
