Aliyekuwa
Makamu wa Rais wa Taifa la Zimbabwe, Emmerson Mnangagwa huenda akaapishwa rasmi
leo au kesho kuwa Rais mpya wa nchi hiyo. Taarifa hii ni kwa mujibu wa Katibu
wa Sheria wa Chama cha ANU-PF.
Bwana Mnangagwa ataliongoza taifa hilo hadi wakati wa uchaguzi mkuu mwakani.
Mugabe aliwamua kujiuzulu ikiwa ni dakika chache kabla ya Bunge la nchi hiyo
alijaanza mchakato wa kumuondoa kwa kura ya kutokuwa na imani naye.

Former Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa will be sworn in as President either
tomorrow or on Thursday, Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front
Secretary for Legal Affairs Patrick Chinamasa told an international news
agency.
Separately, ZANU-PF chief whip Lovemore Matuke said Mnangagwa would be sworn in
within 48 hours and would serve the remainder of Mugabe’s term until the next
general elections, which must be held by September 2018.
Mnangagwa, who was expelled from the party and the government by President
Robert Mugabe has made a dramatic comeback ousting his former colleague of more
than 40 years.
Mugabe was forced to resign this evening after Parliament started impeachment proceedings
which were backed by his ruling party and the opposition.
Speaker of Parliament Jacob Mudenda announced Mugabe’s resignation during the
debate on the motion to impeach him.
His son Chatunga and nephew Patrick Zhuwao had vowed that Mugabe would never
resign and would rather die for what is correct.
It is not yet clear under what terms Mugabe resigned but previous reports
indicated that he would be granted immunity from prosecution and would remain
in the country.
It is not clear whether this immunity would extend to his family, especially
his wife as she was living such a lavish life that people would want to know
how she got the money which allowed her to buy mansions all over, a $1.3
million diamond ring for her 20th wedding anniversary and a $60 000 watch for
the boastful son Chatunga.
