Emmerson Mnangagwa now Zimbabwe President

Emmerson Mnangagwa, a former
Zimbabwean vice president, who was
sacked by Robert Mugabe, would be sworn
in Wednesday or Thursday, media reports
say.
ZANU-PF legal secretary, Patrick
Chinamasa told Reuters, after the
resignation of Robert Mugabe, that
Mnangagwa will be sworn in as
president.
Reuters claimed that separately, ZANU-
PF chief whip Lovemore Matuke said
Mnangagwa would be sworn in within
48 hours and that he would serve the
remainder of Mugabe’s term until the
next general elections, which must be
held by September 2018.
Emmerson Mnangagwa is set be sworn in as
Zimbabwe's president.
Mr. Mnangagwa is said to be popular
amongst the powerful War Veterans
group and the Zimbabwean military
chiefs.
Meanwhile, LETSKNOW  had earlier reported that Zimbabwe's President
Robert Mugabe finally resigned.
LETSKNOW gathered that the surprise
announcement came as lawmakers
debated an impeachment motion
against him in a joint sitting of
parliament.
LETSKNOW reported that when the news of
Mugabe's resignation broke, crowds in
the streets of Harare broke out in
rapturous celebrations, raising their
fists and waving Zimbabweans flags to
mark the historic moment.
