yeah supposedly the armys not happy with his support for her? said it was complicated lol

Never was likely he would hand off power without any trouble, especially to his wife.

The article suggest that the real power seems to lie with those holding close links to the independence movement, the general in charge of this coup and the former vice-president were both players in that.

It's not so complicated. Grace Mugabe was being lined up as the 93 YO's successor, probably put into motion after Mugabe wins next year's election, similar to how it happened in Venezuela where Chavez nominated Moduro.

Grace had started purging her opponents in Zanu PF including the vice president who legged it to South Africa a couple of weeks ago. The Army said a couple of days ago that this was coming to sort it out and so it has.

Mugabe seems to have been outflanked and short of a civil war started by Grace's Zanu PF youth league thugs I wouldn't be surprised if Bob Mugabe quickly throws her under the bus, maybe literally, if not just in court. Hope it all works out quickly, there are a lot of good people in Zim who want the country to get back on its feet.

He had a good innings.

We'll probably see another African country fall into civil war and everyone will agree that dictators arent that bad after all.

!enog s'eh ,ebaguM

His wife had three people arrested last week for booing her while she was making a speech.Perhaps the army have realised that they could not have someone like that running the country.

well its all fell apart for him, hes been "sacked" by the ruling party, and shes been kicked out completely

Great news. Hopefully the money and assets that he's stolen will soon be seized and handed back to the people. A billion dollars goes a long way in Zim these days.
