And. Sitting about what was it. One of. The most sort of when you did the much goes i was the one on the. House so to speak. So i followed this whole process i went to the parliament i wanted to make sure that you know we you know. I wish that you know hed done this in a dignified manner so thats why were pushing hard you know we mobilized people so that he can see cells and i was happy with the speaker read that you know i robot guarded to here by ten am i we just went a while it was. But i can say. Thank you mr president thank you for the more than forty years that you from preindependence postindependence there are a lot of good memories you know you are fearless. Youre go getter but unfortunately things had to happen the way that happened but. Today is reseller brittingham the good the bad in the ugly story are and rationally unfortunately Mama Mama Mama got there you just messed everything up for us but while father you are such a role model Education Empowerment those are things that we the good things that i can remember of course there were bad things also you know doesnt do bad things is part of the history of the country but good and bad things but today is another day just so happy that hes decided. To spend time it is home maybe to write his memoirs you know are not the only one youre not the only one feeling like that you mention independence i want to bring up this week from eugene he says this is a second independence born zimbabwe since gaining independence in one nine hundred eighty we have endured the woes of mugabes reign hash tag mugabi or designed its the end game to a regime at mcdonalds you see here hes treating this as an Independence Day is that how youre feeling or whats going through your head. Well. Well i think that the political moment it definitely. Wasnt that dependence. But its but but but if i was too much of what was happening in mexico which is the point that i was about assuming that a lot of the feelings that we have a similar to what people think but its what makes this situation a bit different its that mixed feelings i think that when colonialism ended. Thirty two people it was a spiritual experience about it but it does give it a lot but i just talked about some of the things that was talked about. The most and so we just get to go and we have to. Succumb to pressure but they also something that some people associate of just doing good. And i think that that also. Makes students with used budgets cuts and but thats one group of people who are not but people like my so to see it go but were still concerned it was real but. It was that lead to it what is happening now is. That we would begin to think that the old hip certainly is. As it is a little bit because of that but it is going to look if that is so when we have to see the president who still. That is if that is. The one that is going to. Let me share this if you tout your political analyst there are lots of political analysts on twitter as well let me share this tweet with you when i got is a former Vice President and she went ahead of him badly and militant they all work in this together and one of them will be in line to the throne yet both men were former allies of mcgarvey and a both above seventy years old do we now see a pattern so were looking at forward looking ahead is it possible that there could be more of the same tile or is this really a big milestone for symbolic. Well first of all given all your views and your view on this year. I think its important that everyone recognizes that this is this is a moment yes in its historical moment however what we should be celebrating is the activation of the zimbabwean constitution the constitution that was in that in twenty thirty its now coming into play. The military which i take my hat off to conduct of the operation under the guidance of the constitution and even as we are where we are today is because of what the constitution provides for us as citizens and therefore i am celebrating a moment where the constitution has come to life constitutionalism has come to life a president is being set for the future. In that light also say that. While everyone is euphoric everyone is very happy understandably maybe perhaps some people or. I would also say that that euphoria nine hundred eighty is what got us to where we are today people forgot to focus on institution and focus on emotions and those emotions were embodied in robert. Robert mugabe became the system. And that system where we are today and therefore i would rather recommend that people focus on the institution that we have to build from the moment is great but tomorrow we have a lot of work out how do you do that what is focus on institutions actually means. Today where shes leaving heading into wednesday morning to wednesday ok tomorrow morning ask. You a question who will be. The acting president. What was going to be happening i dont think. Those are the questions that we should be addressing right now so that tomorrow you dont find someone in a power grab a vacuum and jump in to fill that so youre not the only one asking those questions other people watching the show live on you tube the cell hes one of them he says i hope the power vacuum here is behind meaning mugabe doesnt cause chaos for those who will fight for power now that hes gone he goes on to ask questions ourselves will grayson gary try to stay on politics or will she go into exile of course a lot of unknowns there bright but what do you make of what will happen next the session while linda im going to give this one to you we have a lot of people online asking about is there going to be power grabbing and what will happen to both Robert Mugabe and his wife grace mugabe and are those questions that are on your mind as well. I dont have those questions right now because a militant reason garden was expelled from seoul appears and from politics and i didnt mean that there is any Political Parties involved with that will be able to take that to what they can into their political but and mugabe has resigned which shows that she wants nothing to do with politics from today with it was call westley didnt voluntarily but we have to call it and say opposition get organized and which again onto the track and right now if theres going. To. Be here frankenstein. Now you mentioned how the constitution was working in zimbabwe that is why president mugabe had to resign a cali boy here says to us in a strange pessimist obvious resignation should not be based on military intervention that doesnt promote democracy in africa and you say what. If if i can try to bring some context into. The military intervention that we saw last week when the first lady will form a first lady now began her socalled rallies back in twenty forty before former Vice President joyce would you was expelled from the. She i think grew a very big head politically although she was a political move with. Now to cut a long story short by the time that she started these rallies again in twenty sixty she particularly was offensive at one rally in last year which he directly attacked the military and directly attacked president underwear and sometimes what was perceived to be vulgar terms. And. From there she was considered a Security Threat reports were rife in both private media. In different political circles that the military were unhappy with with the discontent she was causing but yet they stayed themselves they stayed in the barracks for over two years so this is not an intervention in the in the context of seizing power i think thats a misconception what they did was. Stop what was going to be an explosive situation had she actually succeeded in taking over the Vice President let me just add to joshua there was absolutely this is a mouser dot com has been an indepth portrait of Robert Mugabe and his presidency this is the newly elected Robert Mugabe as we go back thirty seven years mcdonalds when you look at this picture and you look at the hope and the joy in this picture what would you say is the legacy of president mugabe. Well it certainly got the better of. It and i think that is something. To be covered but when people talk about legacy usually people talk about one or two things that. Was true and then the end. That some people will form. The next. But at this point the way that will not. Element. Is also. What they deserve and it is it was. Useful to go but its people just. Want to do that and thats when its used but of course its. Fortunate for members lets just. See in the way that its a country in the championing of political causes that its called but. Its often its. Political its so heres another remembrance of mugabes legacy silver on twitter says unfortunately his resignation came a little bit too late hell be remembered as a man who tried to cling on to the peoples call as a gambler with faith who tried to postpone the inevitable but pushing forward a little bit on to what will happen next we got this comment from a member of the opposition in d. C. Which morgan chang or i is the president good to told us we see the removal abu dhabi not as the end but just as the beginning of the democratization process in zimbabwe we want a total democratization of the country we want a la tour reforms that will make sure a proper and law toral commission will be able to conduct elections that are free and fair linda what do you make about comment. When i made the comment is that it is the actual reality on the ground will. Position this is the time for opposition to regroup have for cause and actually ensure that the push for our electoral reforms it was for democracy to be to be a reality and zimbabwe not just the work that we have suffered of the unions from and constitutionalism we have suffered from a lot of violence nonalignment of laws of the constitution of zimbabwe which of them are very big challenge for opposition in egypt when a trait in the sun appears strongholds but at the end of the day everyone has got the freedom of association and that should be allowed to associate with a part of their choice so Going Forward we actually need to regroup as a two piece as a Political Party especially the opposition will. Come. Of changing the system because at the end of the day celebrating thats who got caught is not enough because we have a system that we have to dealt with the question is still a system of corruption this is what we in the system due to try to write back and Going Forward and of the one who wants to see a better zimbabwe which has in webers prop what paul says were probably get jobs what is critically important right now is to ensure that we have the system proper how to from bob it was not that coaching at that slant he had inherited the smith regime at the smiths esteem and way of doing things and never tried to change that system and Going Forwards that was all to date those are some of the challenges that we have to start working on how do we change the system how do we transform zimbabwe into a social democratic developmental state or to stop you just with the briefly i think what everyone should to remember into the excerpt from the opposition circles is that if im elected of course for instance in the next six months as provided for by the constitution the opposition doesnt stand and doesnt turn to chance because of the euphoria. That people are experiencing and expressing today. For the removal of president Robert Mugabe is the same euphoria the left with the ballot when Vice President. Running for the presidency and the opposition should look to twenty twenty three as the next opportunity perhaps to have. Political media. Yes. We should not also forget that image from the numbers not popular she didnt want to be the transitional government. If we got to im going to talk about accountability or not if youre just trying to case if youre trying to keep up with us how to type a minute how to keep up with us and indeed i was referring to the Vice President who actually was fired and had to leave the country lets bring back in bright bright you said that you were part of a movement to get rid of president mugabe your happy that he is gone what is the plan next you were sitting in Parliament Earlier today you were happy to hear about the resignation now what. Moral. President of zimbabwe. You would do that and do you suppose to finish him that. Supposed to finish twenty eight that is what is provided for in the constitution. So i think the big task for. Tonight is the people of zimbabwe we were so divided a low political alliance. So rush out and rushed all the elections because the environment has been polluted. People have got bad memories about the election so i think its to unite people to bring even a transitional government. That will be. Advised to mr. And. Just you know to take his time sit down with write if you will charge all the million charge behaving in charge of the military be in charge tomorrow in charge. Definitely not i think. Once the president has this story i dont think they all rush to go away because as we speak right now we dont seem to have a policy they all went into hiding we dont seem to have our Intelligence Department they always. Was. Accused of taking part looting of resources. So the rebuilding process so thats why im saying we cant have elections next year because of these challenges where you dont live in an Ordinance Police force in all its Intelligence Services so that i know theyll go back to the ballot and maybe change uniform. Right now as we speak you know theres not been any looting without well if they have whats in the. Inside before you just walk around the corner theres a policeman they take money along the road youre driving there for five stops it was just ridiculous ok but so you really have.
