of independence who are opposed to him now saying that speech tonight was nothing to do with reality. we will go for impeachment, say the war vetera ns, will go for impeachment, say the war veterans, and we are calling the people back onto the streets. and zanu—pf, the ruling party here, deposed mr mugabe as their leader earlier on today and they gave him an ultimatum that if you does not resign by midday tomorrow local time, he will be impeached. he clearly is not resigning, so we have to wait and see whether that impeachment process begins. this is what mr mugabe had to say on national television in zimbabwe. the angst of intergenerational conflict must be resolved through harmonised melding of old established players, as they embrace and welcome new rules. new ones, through a well—defined sense of hierarchy and succession. indeed, all these matters will be discussed and settled at the forthcoming congress, within the framework of a clear road map that seeks to resolve, once and for all, any omissions or contradictions that have affected our party negatively. the congress is due in a few weeks from now. i will preside over its processes, which must not be repossessed by any i will preside over its processes, which must not be prepossessed by any acts calculated to undermine it, or to compromise the outcomes in the eyes of the public. that is robert mugabe with that address to the nation. 93 years of age. the world‘s oldest head of state, and he is still head of state in this country. against all the odds, you might think, under pressure from the party that has deposed him as its leader. under pressure from the army that has carried out that takeover against him and under pressure from his own people, who demonstrated in their tens of thousands yesterday and called for them to take to the streets again, because many of them across zimbabwe will have been deeply disappointed by that speech tonight. and his refusal to resign. milton‘s in johannesburg now. you have interviewed robert mugabe and followed his career, i do surprise that he decided that he is staying in office? yes, i was surprised in the general sense. but in following the character of the man that we followed for the last few decades, i was not. because i knew that robert mugabe does not give in very easily. he never gave any inch of concessions throughout this process since the army parked a tank outside his house. he never accepted any of the suggestions that were brought by the suggestions that were brought by the envoys, which was sent by presidentjacob the envoys, which was sent by president jacob zuma, the the envoys, which was sent by presidentjacob zuma, the minister of defence in south africa, the minister of intelligence, nothing was said that robert mugabe agreed with what they were doing. we‘re waiting to see what will happen on tuesday when the summit takes place in the angolan capital rwanda, where presidentjacob in the angolan capital rwanda, where president jacob zuma will try in the angolan capital rwanda, where presidentjacob zuma will try and resolve the zimbabwe crisis. but we have always known with mr mugabe‘s background that the man who spent ten yea rs background that the man who spent ten years in prison fighting white minority rule, that he does not give in easily. he does not give in easily, i know that his people know that, but there has been an expectation that having dismissed as party leader today, he would file to the inevitable and resign, has not done that, what will be the reaction of the people in zimbabwe, many of whom demonstrated yesterday against him? yes, huge disappointment not just in zimbabwe, but across the river here as well. as you would know, millions of zimbabweans crossed the border here for better economic opportunities. and because their country‘s economy collapsed under president robert mugabe‘s watch. so they were all hoping that today, the leader who has been ruling the country since 1980 would just call it quits, and he did not. so huge disappointment here and i am sure huge disappointment across the african continent and beyond. thank you very much indeed, so huge disappointment for many who demonstrated yesterday. i have demonstrated yesterday?! have demonstrated yesterdeye! have ‘{’~ 1 of demenstrated yesterdeye! have ‘f’~* of who demenstrated yesterdeye! have ‘f’~* of of who of great euphoricjoy after scenes of great euphoricjoy after thinking they had reached the end of his reign after 37 years. author and entrepreneur nozipo maraire was at a march yesterday demanding the resignation of robert mugabe. she‘s been telling me she is confident he will go soon, despite tonight‘s speech. we are entering a post—mugabe era. whatever the speech was the night, if you saw what happened on the streets yesterday, both at the war vetera ns streets yesterday, both at the war veterans mass rally and on the streets of zimbabwe, people were .-.x.-.-..-..x.- es --—l-l- eeeege -_. buoyant, - entering an air of . g sues “— . g sues —— an air of income sues —— an air of inclusivity. we can never go back. people reporting he was going to say in this address on television, i resign as president, i resign as head of state. we did not hear those words. i do think there is a tricky element here which is on the one hand, there must not be any appearance of coercion on the part of the military. and i think perhaps live, flanked by the generals, resignation may be perceived that way. i think what is happening right 110w way. i think what is happening right now in zanu—pf is a political process and a political solution. we are entering a post—mugabe in and i hope zimbabweans are not deflated by this. they must know that we have begun a process that will move forward. but they will be deflated, won‘t they? because you know that the expectation that was raised with that huge demonstration here that you took part in, they were demanding his resignation and they thought they were probably going to get it tonight. yes. like i said, i think the people will feel very deflated. the spirit was incredible, the demands were there, but zimbabweans so patient. this is our kind of coup, not coup, our kind of process , kind of coup, not coup, our kind of process, and i really don‘t think there is any doubt that mugabe will go. is he going to be impeached now? that is what zanu—pf have said, if he does not go by midday tomorrow, local time here in harare, parliaments down there behind us will start impeaching him straightaway pretty much. will start impeaching him straightaway pretty muchlj will start impeaching him straightaway pretty much. i think that political process has already begun. you have ten out of ten provinces casting a no vote, he has been removed as head of the party, it is just been removed as head of the party, it isjust a been removed as head of the party, it is just a matter of another final hurdle because debt before he‘s impeached. he is a pretty stubborn guy! 0rbis pressure, the party, the army, the people and still he won‘t go. it is 37 years of power, i don't think it has even sunk and psychologically. even from what we saw, there is no real cognition that, i am saw, there is no real cognition that, iam no saw, there is no real cognition that, i am no longer in power. the military intervention, he said, was no challenge to his authority. there is no sense is pretty being challenged and i don‘t think is no sense is pretty being challeizi. think d i don‘t think is no sense is pretty being challeizi. think the ion‘t think is no sense is pretty being challeizi. think the world 1ink is no sense is pretty being challeizi. think the world would office. i think the world would agree that is a completely unrealistic expectation and our country cannot be held hostage by the dreams of a single human being. so that is an activist who was demonstrating yesterday on the streets. and there has been a call from the war veterans, the people who fought alongside robert mugabe in the warto who fought alongside robert mugabe in the war to liberate zimbabwe for people to turn out onto the streets again, especially on wednesday, the impeachment process is expected could begin on tuesday, when parliament resumes and people being called back out onto the streets on wednesday. let‘s get more reaction to this refusal of mandarin —— mr mugabe to resign. from the representative in the uk of zanu—pf, the ruling party. extraordinary day because we had your party, zanu—pf, dismissing mr mugabe as party leader. then the expectations he would resign of his own volition. but he did not do that. when you saw that he had not done that and you saw that speech, what was your reaction? well, the first reaction was, i was stunned. extremely stunned and crushed. but as i reflected and tried to tap into his mindset right now, i think there are things that stand out to me. the first thing would be, probably, 0k, he is in denial. the other thing is, president mugabe has always had an overi nflated president mugabe has always had an overinflated sense of his popularity. so i might overinflated sense of his popularity. so. might be popularity. so he mightree holding the party constitution. i regulations. party constitution. i am sure that is what he is focused on. to say, ok, this was contrived. i was not really voted out by my party because so and so did not attend. coming to the impeachment itself, i am sure there is a sense that he is holding onto that there are some members of parliament and members of the senate that with him. that the impeachment might not get the two thirds majority that it needs. so i think he is going to drag it out because he has some hope that he can still get away with this poll it off. i think that is where he is coming from. i do not think it is totally an issue for the power of the universe, but he would think in a president mugabe way that there is a president mugabe way that there is a technical loophole that he can cling on to and drag this out to a destination which he scripts himself. not put in front of him by anybody. all right. the uk representative of zanu—pf, thanks very much, from london. more analysis now, george sherry is a political analyst and expert on zimbabwe, currently in venice. thank you very much for being with us. what are your thoughts on another extraordinary day in this current crisis here in zimbabwe? well, in some ways, i am not surprised. let me explain why i am not surprised. the first argument he advancesis not surprised. the first argument he advances is about intergenerational politics. nobody in zimbabwe would be against intergenerational politics. the question is, what does he mean by that? so the challenge he is offering, i think, is for people to define what he means or for themselves to define what intergenerational politics means. until now, everybody has assumed what zimbabwe needs is young people. i would say, what is generative? and you need to win that argument, what is generative? g40 which he genuinely did see as young people, do not offer anything that can take zimbabwe into the modern, yes? and just saying, the country is facing economic difficulties, which is it v: z not lisjgi iziisi isi iiiiiiiii eriii .. . .. .. . it go from here? so i would does it go from here? so i would argue politically, people have to win that argument. let mejust win that argument. let me just interrupt you. we have not got much time. what do you think happens next? there is a threat to impeach robert mugabe, do you think that will happen and will that be successful? two things, you have to look at what the impeachment process, it is much more complex than you think. you have to be given the grounds for it and you are given the right to respond and go in that direction. he is hoping that the assembly and senate meeting together will prolong the process. and this is the kind of attrition in that sense. my hope is that both the assembly and senate will come together. the electorate will come together. the electorate will publish anybody who is seen to be protecting their self—interest. so it depends on what the grounds of impeachment are and robert mugabe is anticipating, assuming, miscalculating in my view, that people will not produce coherent grounds of impeachment. so just to say the economics is terrible is not grounds for impeachment. go back to the impeachment rules as the constitution itself says. that is where we are. all right. thank you very much. really sorry. we are out of time. thank you so much for joining us from venice. let mejust bring you breaking news. we have heard that the generals involved in this crisis since their military ta keover this crisis since their military takeover saying that they will issue their own statement on all of this in the morning so we will hear from the military in the morning. it has been another momentous day here in zimbabwe. first of all, the zanu—pf central committee dismissing robert mugabe as their leader after 37 yea rs. mugabe as their leader after 37 years. and then mr mugabe surprise eve ryo ne years. and then mr mugabe surprise everyone i refusing to resign as president and head of state and vowing to go on. that is the latest from harare, back to you in the

championship. spain‘sjon rahm won the last event of the season while rose sacrificed a one shot lead to throw away his chance of winning enough points to beat fleetwood. 0ur golf correspondent, iain carter, was watching the action in dubai. no one would have seen this coming, particularly when justin rose was a p pa re ntly particularly when justin rose was apparently cruising towards victory, not just apparently cruising towards victory, notjust in the world tour championship, but also in the race to dubai. a top two finish would have got thejob to dubai. a top two finish would have got

home win this season. watford climb to eighth on 18 points with the win, while west ham are stuck in the relegation zone. we wa nt we want to be in the games. we stayed in the game for most of it. we

better, thatis today so we have to play better, that is what i think. i did not really enjoyed bits of the performance that if we had got the girls, ithink performance that if we had got the girls, i

giving an address to the nation in which he was expected to announce his resignation, but he did not. many zimbabweans are reported to be baffled by the president‘s move. he was given 2a hours to announce his resignation as president, after the zanu—pf party, which he founded removed him as leader. in his televised address, he insisted he will preside over the party congress that is happening in december. this is after the military appeared to take power, although he remains very much in the role of president. refusing to stand down, defying those calls. plenty more reaction and analysis
