Embattled Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe was on Sunday deposed as the leader of ruling Zanu-PF party, and replaced by his former deputy Emmerson Mnangagwa.

His wife Grace Mugabe was also expelled from the party and banned for life.

Mugabe on Sunday met with the army commander who put him under house arrest, while the ruling party opened an emergency meeting to recall the world's oldest head of state as its leader.


Zimbabwe's ruling party Central Committee members stood and cheered at the decision.

Minister of Home Affairs Obert Mpofu said that they met with "a heavy heart" because Mugabe, 93, had served the country and contributed "many memorable achievements."

He added that Mugabe's wife "and close associates have taken advantage of his frail condition" to loot national resources.

Mugabe's hold on power was broken this week when the military took over in a dispute over who would succeed him.

"President Robert Mugabe will meet the command element of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces tomorrow," state television announced on Saturday.

The two sides first met for talks on Thursday, smiling in photographs that attempted to present a dignified image of the tense process of negotiating Mugabe's departure.

In scenes of public euphoria not seen since independence in 1980, huge crowds marched and sang their way through Harare and other cities on Saturday, demanding the end of Mugabe's authoritarian rule.

The marches came after a historic week in which the military seized power and put Mugabe under house arrest in response to his sacking of Mnangagwa, a perceived rival of Mugabe's powerful 52-year-old wife Grace who had increasingly voiced her ambition to succeed her spouse.

Great...

1. APC should learn from Zanu PF party.

2. Nigeria's Military should learn from Zim Military.

3. Buhari should send a personal message to R. Mugabe. Thanking him for acting as a Statesman.

4. AU should give him a higher responsibility. Heading observer
mission to elections in South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria. Heading mediation teams in conflict resolution in Syria, IPOB etc

5. Vice President should ensure that Zim elections are free and fair.

Shame on my generations who we born pigs and idiots . i spit on my stu*pid face.

Bolustical:
Zimbabwe is not yet free, it is in for another long cycle of gerontocrats.

The newly appointed President and the Head of the Military are long term allies of Mugabe,

They have been regarded as the 3 musketeers who fought for the independence of Liberia.

Nothing more, they are of the same fold. Nothing will happen to Mugabe.

You might celebrate the ouster of Mugabe but not the true emancipation of Zimbabweans.

Mnangagwa is just another Mugabe, things will only get slightly better. Lesser of the two evils I guess

Kiakia:
No. He is as evil as Mugabe. Have you ever wondered why they call him Crocodile? Zimbabweans are on a looooong thing! However, with the military looming large over him, he might turn out better than Mugabe.

MAYOWAAK:
In the late 1970's Robert Mugabe had acquired international fame as a fearless nationalist and dogged fighter for his people. But he was in fierce struggle with the elderly Joshua Nkomo who believed by antecedent and contribution to the struggle, he should be allowed to lead the movement. When they brought their quarrel to General Olusegun Obasanjo, then the Nigerian military ruler, Obasanjo locked the duo in a room in Dodan Barracks, placing a pistol on the table before them. “When I return, I want you to have solved the problem of Zimbabwe,” he told them. “One of you should be dead; the survivor would go and be the ruler of Zimbabwe!”When Obasanjo returned 15 minutes later, the two of them were still alive.Mugabe agreed to be Prime-Minister, while Nkomo was to be ceremonial President which he later declined preferring to be the Minister of Home Affairs. That was how Zimbabwe became independent in 1980.

@Areafada2, Mugabe is different from Nkrumah in many ways.The West made Nkrumah fail,a victim of politics of the metropole. The value of cocoa,Ghana's chief export commodity then, was devalued by about 600 % ,and then about 5million GBP of Ghana's money was held by The Bank of England.The import was that Nkrumah's government failed.No government can succeed without funds.
When Ayi Kwei Armah wrote The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born,he was hailed by the West,because he painted his country in bad light.But when he saw the light ,the true picture ,the politics and intrigues of Nkrumah's failure,he had a change of heart,a new mentality concerning the West.Thrn,he wrote Two Thousand Seasons, where he depicted the West as white maggots.Heinmann that had published his books earlier on stopped.In fact,it was Wole Soyinka who came to his defence that it was more than a racist tract.
Concerning Patrice Lummumba, the world knew then that it was the CIA through his country men like Kasavuvu.I have a book that detailed it.In fact,the CIA had made some people rich before they brought Lummumba down.They gave people as much as 2 million Dollars. It's the stock in trade of the CIA. They've overthrown over 44 governments.
Back to Mugabe,we are talking about a regional ,political dinosaur here.Once the British Parliament recognized him after many attempts and finally gave Rhodeshia, now Zimbabwe independence from 1979 to 1980,he gradually morphed into a tyrant,killing his rivals,stifling dissent through state forces.His case is that of a liberator becoming a dictator.
The sensations are always the same: it starts with an impulse to liberate[b].Then a gesture.But there's a space,very vast space between the two.That space,to borrow from Soyinka's word,is what separates the liberator from the dictator,the explorer from the conqueror.It is a space of pure unadulterated ecstasy of power.[/b]
Majority of Zimbabweans are living below poverty levels,grappling with an atrocious 50% inflation level.His wife sometime ago bought a jewelry worth 1.4 million Dollars.His son flaunted a 60k Dollar wrist watch on social media,and poured champagne on it the 2go
owing day.So,how is Mugabe populist ? How is he sensitive to the cries of his people.For a
most 4 decades,he held his country by the throat.
I insist that Africa is better off without the likes of him,and history would not speak well of him.In fact,generations unborn are likely to spit on his grave when he's long gone.
