It’s D-Day for Mugabe

-

ZIMBABWE’S ruling ZANUPF party will launch the parliament­ary process to impeach President Robert Mugabe.

The decision came after Mr Mugabe missed a deadline to resign given to him by his party at the weekend.

Once a simple majority of parliament­arians vote for impeachmen­t, an investigat­ive committee is formed by politician­s, who report back to both houses of parliament. Each house must then vote by a twothirds majority for him to be stripped of office.
