by Charles Rukuni 6 years ago6 years ago

President Robert Mugabe has agreed to step down but will do so at the Zimbabwe African Union-Patriotic Front special congress to give the military takeover on Wednesday legitimacy so that it will not be viewed as a coup.

Mugabe who was placed on house arrest after the takeover which the military insisted was not a coup was allowed to officiate at the Zimbabwe Open University graduation today as party of the agreement.
