Robert Mugabe Sacked By Zanu-PF, Replaced By Emmerson Mnangagwa by mesoprogress(m): 1:14pm On Nov 19, 2017
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.

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.

See how women spoil good things!

Mugabe would still have remained the President if he had curtailed Grace his wife.

GEJ might still have remained President if the likes of Diezani, Stella Oduah and Patience were not prominent in his government.

If you want to ruin your government or ministry as a politician or pastor, just give your wife undue attention and power and see how you go down very fast.

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.
