Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe's president is currently on a hot seat as the country goes into chaos following the dismissal of the vice president by Mugabe. The dismissal of the vice president immediately generated coup feelings in the nation. The pressure mounted up to the extent that the population of Zimbabwe had a demonstration out in the streets, along side the military. Grace Mugabe, the wife of the president fled to Rwanda and a couple of top officials of Mugabe's reign have been exiled. As of now, Robert Mugabe gas been replaced as the main man of the ruling party and the vice president is there as an interim.
Robert Mugabe has been given until Monday at 10:00GMT to peacefully resign as president or face an impeachment.
Mugabe assumed office in 1987 and has been president of Zimbabwe since then. He was born in 1924. He has grown old and fragile yet still power thirsty. Sources say he wanted to hand over power to his wife, Grace Mugabe, a situation likely impossible.
The resignation of Mugabe from power will serve as a lesson for many African leaders who have chose to take the presidential seat as their private property. Most countries appear democratic only in papers but in reality, it is a monarchical rule. Its true the older u stay in power, the more experienced u become but a chance should be given for the new, young and energetic ones with dreams and visions. You will never know which one is better between two things unless you test the two. It is a beginning of change for the African continent. The wind of change will not only blow through Zimbabwe, but Africa as a whole.
