    I do not envy the person tasked with taking over after Mugabe. Mugabe has taken 30 years to fuck Zimbabwe up. It will take a long time to undo what he has done.

    There were rumours that Mugabe had fled the country after hundreds of thousands took to the streets to protest against his rule




    Protesters gather at a demonstration of tens of thousands at Zimbabwe Grounds in Harare, Zimbabwe on Saturday








    Some in the crowd also voiced their support for sacked vice-president Emmanuel 'Crocodile' Mnangagwa, the favourite to become the next leader, by shouting 'Ngwena, Ngwena', or 'Crocodile, Crocodile', in support of sacked vice-president Emmanuel 'Crocodile' Mnangagwa


    Mugabe has been given an ultimatum of 24 hours to resign by the powerful National Liberation War Veterans Association


    During Mugabe's rule, forced rallies were often staged to support him but there was not a single counter-protester coming out in support of him

    Fiery speeches were delivered at the Harare football stadium to a crowd of hundreds of thousands after a day of chaotic anti-Mugabe parades through the city.

    Several speakers shouted 'Viva Zimbabwe', to prolonged cheers and singing from the crowds, mixed with blasts of music over the loudspeakers.

    'Mugabe and his typist-cum-wife must go home,' said Victor Matemadanda, the Secretary-General of the Powerful War Veterans' Association.

    'Let's go and take back the country from the State House.'
    He added: 'If he's not at the State House, let's go to the Blue Roof,' referring to Mr Mugabe's £7.5million mansion where he is under house arrest.

    Frank Mutsindikwa, 34, said: 'These are tears of joy. I've been waiting all my life for this day. Free at last. We are free at last.'
    The 93-year-old will be removed as the head of ZANU-PF but technically remains as president. However, Emmerson 'the Crocodile' Mnangagwa, the sacked Vice President who returned to Zimbabwe on Wednesday, will be installed as the new party leader, it was confirmed today.

    It was an unprecedented show of defiance and unity in this notoriously divided country, as ordinary Zimbabweans from across the political spectrum came together as one to oppose the dictator.


    Members of the powerful war veterans, traditionally a source of support for Mugabe, stand guard at the stage prior to the mass action protests

    Indeed it is, but I had no idea it was *that* active.

    This guy is incredible, despite being 93 years old and widespread protests calling for his resignation he still refuses to resign!

    'You and I have work to do. Thank you and goodnight': Mugabe's rambling 20-minute speech in full that ended not with a resignation but with a vow to fight on

    A box of tissues lay unused on the table in front of Mugabe. But as he addressed the nation is soon became clear that not only would there be no tears, there would also be no resignation.

    Harare's streets are deserted as Zimbabwe stays home to watch Mugabe's speech - but is this the calm before the storm?

    The streets of Harare, which had been bustling with protesters on Sunday afternoon, were completely deserted as Robert Mugabe delivered his speech from the presidential palace.









    This was the eerie scene on the streets of Zimbabwe's on Sunday night as the city received the news that dictator Robert Mugabe was clinging to power.

    Harare turned into a virtual ghost town as crowds that had been celebrating Mugabe's imminent demise flocked to their television sets to watch him speak.

    But even after Mugabe failed to step down crowds stayed indoors, fearful of what might be about to happen next.

    One man, who asked not to be named, told MailOnline: 'My dreams have all died. Now we are returning to a life of fear.'
    Residents were concerned that the police, which had been withdrawn by the army, would return to the streets and start to enforce Mr Mugabe's repressive controls once again.

    'We gave Robert Gabriel Mugabe every chance to have a dignified exit. But he is mad.'
