Zimbabwe's ruling party sacks Robert Mugabe as leader

Angel

 Zimbabwe's ruling party has sacked President Robert Mugabe as its leader, officials say.

Zanu-PF has appointed ex-vice-president Emmerson Mnangagwa, who had been fired by Mr Mugabe two weeks ago.

The sacking of Mr Mnangagwa had prompted an extraordinary chain of events as the military intervened to block Mr Mugabe, 93, from installing his wife, Grace, in his place.

Mr Mugabe is set to meet military leaders on Sunday and a motorcade has been seen leaving his private residence.

Tens of thousands of Zimbabweans had attended street protests on Saturday, demonstrating against the Mugabes.

BBC correspondent Andrew Harding, at the Zanu-PF meeting, tweeted a video of people dancing after the decision to remove Mr Mugabe was taken.

He said cheering erupted as the decision was announced, although the move has yet to be formalised.
But it increases further the pressure on Mr Mugabe that has been building over the past few days, and there are now moves to impeach him as president.

The recent events:

  • Two weeks ago Mr Mugabe sacked his then-deputy Mr Mnangagwa, who then fled the country
  • The army's chief of staff, Gen Constantino Chiwenga, warned on Monday that the military might intervene to stop purges in the party - and was roundly criticised by allies of the Mugabes
  • On Wednesday, soldiers seized the headquarters of the national broadcaster
  • Mr Mugabe has been mostly under house arrest for several days
  • On Saturday, unprecedented mass protests further weakened Mr Mugabe's position

 


The first lady has been expelled from the party altogether.

  There’s a strange feeling that comes with checking your bank account a few days after payday. You were sure you’d be more careful this month. You promised yourself you wouldn’t spend on unnecessary things. Maybe you even wrote a budget somewhere in your notes app. But somehow, the money disappeared again. Not in one dramatic moment. Not because of a luxury vacation or expensive shopping spree. It vanished quietly — food deliveries, transport, subscriptions you forgot about, random “small” purchases that didn’t feel important at the time. And suddenly, you’re back to counting days until the next alert enters your account. For many people, saving money feels impossible. Not because they’re lazy or irresponsible, but because modern life makes spending incredibly easy and saving painfully difficult. The truth is, most people are not bad with money.
