A defiant Robert Mugabe has shocked the nation by refusing to resign in a national broadcast made to Zimbabweans this evening. Mugabe was widely expected to announce his resignation in the address that was broadcast by many local and international stations after his party the ZANU PF which is the ruling party in Zimbabwe removed him as their leader and passed a resolution asking him to resign or face impeachment but a stubborn Mugabe in his address to the nation rejected the call for him to resign and vowed to stay on as president.

The Zimbabwean military intervened last week, in an apparent attempt to block him from installing his wife as his successor.
The first lady, Grace Mugabe, and several other senior officials have been expelled from the party altogether.
Tens of thousands of Zimbabweans attended street protests on Saturday, demonstrating against the Mugabes.

Zimbabweans gathered this evening in expectation of a celebration. Instead, Mugabe appeared to hint at challenging the ruling party, which has expelled him as its leader, by trying to stay on.

Mugabe made a reference to presiding over a party congress next month. “The congress is due in a few weeks from now. I will preside over its processes, which must not be possessed by any acts calculated to undermine it or compromise the outcomes in the eyes of the public.”

Mr. Mugabe has already been rejected as the leader of his party. By 12 noon Zimbabwean time
tomorrow, he will be bundled and disgraced
out of office. His wife has already been
removed from her party post!

He is still suffering from Withdrawal Symptoms.


Its time for him to go and rest...period!
