It can be done in a matter of a day,\u201d said John Makamure, executive director of the Southern African Parliamentary Support Trust, an NGO that works with the parliament in Harare.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"54\">Mugabe\u2019s demise, now almost inevitable, is likely to send shockwaves across Africa, where a number of entrenched strongmen from Uganda\u2019s Yoweri Museveni to Democratic Republic of Congo\u2019s Joseph Kabila are facing mounting pressure to step aside.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"55\">Mugabe was once admired, even in the West, as the \u201cThinking Man\u2019s Guerrilla\u201d, a world away from his image in his latter years as the stereotypical African dictator proudly declaring he held a \u201cdegree in violence\u201d.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As the economy crumbled and opposition to his rule grew in the late 1990s, Mugabe tightened his grip around the southern African country, seizing white-owned farms, unleashing security forces to crush dissent and speaking of ruling until he was 100.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">SANITISED COUP<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"58\"><strong>ZANU-PF\u2019s action follows a weekend of high drama in Harare that culminated in reports Mugabe had agreed to stand down &#8212; only for him to dash the hopes of millions of his countrymen in a bizarre and rambling national address on Sunday night.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"59\">Flanked by the generals who sent in troops last week to seize the state broadcaster, Mugabe spoke of the need for national unity and farming reform, but made no mention of his fate, leaving the nation of 16 million people dumbstruck.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"60\">\u201cI am baffled. It\u2019s not just me, it\u2019s the whole nation,\u201d shocked opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai told Reuters. \u201cHe\u2019s playing a game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"61\">Two senior government sources told Reuters Mugabe had agreed on Sunday to step aside and CNN said on Monday his resignation letter had been drawn up, with terms that included immunity for him and Grace.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"62\">Two other political sources told Reuters on Monday Mugabe had indeed agreed to resign but ZANU-PF did not want him to quit in front of the military, an act that would have made its mid-week intervention look like a coup.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"63\">\u201cIt would have looked extremely bad if he had resigned in front of those generals. It would have created a huge amount of mess,\u201d one senior source within ZANU-PF said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"64\">Another political source said the speech was meant to<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"65\">\u201csanitise\u201d the military\u2019s action, which has paved the way for Mnangagwa, a former security chief known as The Crocodile, to take over.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"66\">Moments after his address, war veterans\u2019 leader Chris Mutsvangwa, who has spearheaded an 18 month campaign to unseat Zimbabwe\u2019s only leader, called for protests suggesting a potential popular uprising if Mugabe refused to go.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"67\">In London, a spokesman for British Prime Minister Theresa May said Mugabe had clearly lost the support of his people.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"68\">Since last week, Mugabe has been confined to his lavish \u201cBlue Roof\u201d residence in Harare, apart from two trips to State House to meet the generals and one to a university graduation ceremony at which he appeared to fall asleep.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Grace and at least two senior members of her \u2018G40\u2019 political faction are believed to be holed up in the same compound.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">DEEP STATE<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"71\"><strong>On Saturday, hundreds of thousands took to the streets of Harare to celebrate Mugabe\u2019s expected downfall and hail a new era for their country, whose economy has imploded under the weight of economic mismangement, including 500 billion percent hyperinflation in 2008.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"72\">An estimated 3 million Zimbabweans emigrated to neighbouring South Africa in search of a better life.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"73\">The huge crowds have given a quasi-democratic veneer to the army\u2019s intervention, backing its assertion that it was merely effecting a constitutional transfer of power, rather than an old-style coup, which would risk a diplomatic backlash.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"74\">Behind the euphoria, however, some Zimbabweans have misgivings, not least because of the prominent role played by the military in removing Mugabe.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"75\">\u201cThe real danger of the current situation is that, having got their new preferred candidate into State House, the military will want to keep him or her there, no matter what the electorate wills,\u201d former education minister David Coltart said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"76\">Others worry about Mnangagwa\u2019s past, particularly as state security chief in the early 1980s, when an estimated 20,000 people were killed in the so-called Gukurahundi crackdown by the North Korean-trained Fifth Brigade in Matabeleland.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-reactid=\"77\">He has denied any wrong-doing but critics say Zimbabwe risks swapping one army-backed autocrat for another.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThe deep state that engineered this change of leadership will remain, thwarting any real democratic reform,\u201d said Miles Tendi, a Zimbabwean academic at Oxford University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zimbabwe\u2019s ruling ZANU-PF will discuss the impeachment of President Robert Mugabe on Monday, its chief whip said, after a noon deadline expired for the 93-year-old to resign and bring the curtain down on nearly four decades in power.
