Mugabe resigns as Zimbabwe president via letter, Speaker says
Dictator Robert Mugabe has resigned as president of Zimbabwe with immediate effect after 37 years in power, through a letter he sent to Parliament, the speaker of the country’s National Assembly has said.
The announcement came during a parliamentary hearing to impeach him, following a military takeover last week.
A letter submitted to parliament by the 93-year-old said his decision to resign was voluntary on his part.
Wild jubilation broke out among MPs when Jacob Mudenda, the speaker, told the parliament.
Impeachment proceedings against Mugabe began earlier on Tuesday as the ruling party, Zanu-PF, attempted to remove him from office.
Thousands of Zimbabweans had also turned up outside parliament to urge on MPs, chanting, dancing and waving placards in Africa Unity square.

If you stay too long in the toilet you attract many flies, so goes the saying. This is the case of Comrade RGM. Unfortunately for Africa we have more of such leaders who want to be chased out of power than to leave while people are still giving you the standing ovation. So leaders like Kabila, Museveni, Kagame and many more from central, east and west Africa must brace for tough times ahead of them. Good performance yes, but the longer you stay the more you accumulate adversaries in your bag.
you have forgoten Peter Munthalika.this one must also resign before impichment take place
hehehe professor Getrude Mutharika, our next president. u professor wa ku bedroom
kkkkkkkkkkkk a warning to African leaders of imposing their wives, brothers or sisters to be president. Be warned if Zimbabwe has done it expect others to follow suit. This is Africa, anything is possible. Malawi watch out!!!!!!!!!
thumb up Nthambi !!!! watsitsa M’FUNDO
End of an era.
It took many influential leaders to convince the stubborn 93 year old Mugabe to resign. One such person was the first president of Zambia, Kenneth Kaunda who on Monday, using the Zambia presidential jet flew to Harare to convince Bob to give up. We wish the ‘new’ Zimbabwe and its people all the best. God Bless Zimbabwe!!!!!
