Following the interim take over of Zimbabwe government by military arm, the country’s ruling party Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU -PF) on Wednesday, November 15, 2017 has announced that there was no coup in the country, only that President Robert Mugabe and his wife, have been detained and that the president has been replaced with Emmerson Mnagngawa, the vice president who was sacked a week ago and exiled by Mugabe.

They wrote on Twitter an hour ago, “Zimbabwe has not had a coup. There has been a decision to intervene because our constitution had been undermined, in the interim Comrade E Mnagngawa will be president of ZANU PF as per the constitution of our revolutionary organisation.

In a series of tweets, the ruling party went on to indicate that the action of the military has the backing of politicians in the country.

Recall in a 1980 interview that Mugabe granted to BBC shortly after he took power, he boosted that no military can remove him as he intends to rule the country with firmness.

The President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, has became a laughing stock on the social media after a belated 93rd birthday special gift - a customized wheel-chair.  

President Robert Mugabe’s cabinet ministers on Monday, appeared to authenticate speculative media reports about the 93-year-old leader’s ill-health and frailty when they presented him with a “special massage wheelchair” as a belated birthday present, with critics insisting it was a wheelchair.

 

The chair was presented to Mugabe at a private function held at State House, before the report went viral amid speculation that he was now wheelchair-bound.
