JUST IN: Mugabe Shows Readiness To Resign, Gives Condition

Robert Mugabe, the Zimbabwe President is one of the longest-serving presidents in Africa, but for the past one week, he has been faced with seemingly insurmountable tussle in power after 30 years.

He has however agreed to relinquish power and drafted a resignation letter, as reported by CNN today.

Quoting a source, the Cable news network said the army generals had given in to many of Mugabe’s demands, including full immunity for himself and his wife Grace, and that he would keep his private property.

According to the source, the aim of Sunday’s televised address in which Mugabe appeared to resist calls to step
aside was to ensure the veteran leader openly declared the military’s actions to be constitutional.

For the resignation to formally take place, however, a letter must first be sent to the speaker of parliament, added the source.
