The Zimbabwean president, Mugabe finally resigns following the recent pressure mounted upon him by the ZANU-PF political party. He has been president for over 30+ years in a country that should be a democratic one, showing the weaknesses of the constitutions of most African countries. His resignation was paved by him through his sack of the vice president, Mnangagwa. This act of his was not welcomed by the military and a majority of the civilians. The dislike gradually mounted into some sort of protest and open demonstrations. In a response, the ZANU-PF party had to dismiss him as president of the party and considered his acts a sign of incompetence. After his dismissal, he was given until mid day on Monday 20th of November 2017 to resign or face an impeachment. On the evening of Sunday, he read a speech which initially was predicted to be his resignation speech but unfortunately it was not. In the speech he acknowledged the ongoing tensions in the country and promised the problems will be looked upon. This kept the Zimbabwean population in a state of confusion.
On Tuesday 21st Nov. 2017 at about 1pm, president Mugabe sent in his resignation letter in which he did not declare who was to be the next president.
By principle, the vice president ought to be the replacement of the president.
The vice president, Emmerson Mnangagwa had escaped to South Africa after being sacked by Mugabe.
Upon arrival, Mnagagwa was welcomed by a crowd of Zimbabweans carrying pictures and positive words of him.
While the people of Zimbabwe await the procession of the instatement of their new president, they remain jubilant on their first day without Mugabe.
Many thrilling stories are proliferating social media platforms. The name "Mugabe" has been coined down to a word meaning "Refuse to go" by clowns on facebook and WhatsApp.
