Emmerson
Mnangagwa, a former Zimbabwean vice president, who was sacked by Robert Mugabe,
would be sworn in Wednesday, media reports say.
Local
media and Zimbabwean sources said Mr. Mnangagwa would be sworn in Wednesday to
replace Mr. Mugabe who resigned Tuesday afternoon after 37-years in
office.
The
75-year-old was removed from office and exiled 13 days after Mr. Mugabe accused
him of disloyalty and insubordination.
Mr.
Mugabe had reportedly taken the action to pave way for his wife, Grace, to
emerge as the new leader of ruling Zanu-PF ahead of the country’s general
election next year.
Mr.
Mnangagwa is said to be popular amongst the powerful War Veterans group and the
Zimbabwean military chiefs.
