If his former Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa takes hold of power, it will be the same if not worse than Robert Mugabe.

Worse than (dis)Grace and a Mugabe dynasty?

They should look under Rhodesia: successful, well-run African country led by Ian Smith.

I would not put much stock in that. But who knows.

Zanu-PF is set to sack him:

They'll likely reinstate the VP he fired.

Grace Mugabe will hold zero power going forward.

It's 2PM Sunday in Harare as I write this. Just have to wait for the confirmations to trickle in after the meeting is fully concluded.
