Zanu pf approve mugabe dismissal #
A significant event in Zimbabwe's history!
On November 21, 2017, the Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) Central Committee, the ruling party's highest decision-making body, met to discuss the fate of President Robert Mugabe, who had been in power since 1980.
After a long and tense meeting, the committee voted to recall Mugabe as the party's leader and first secretary, effectively dismissing him from his position. This move was seen as a major blow to Mugabe's authority and paved the way for his eventual resignation as President of Zimbabwe.
The decision was made after a faction within the party, led by Emmerson Mnangagwa, who was then the Vice President, accused Mugabe of plotting to succeed him as President without consulting the party's structures. The faction also accused Mugabe of purging senior officials and creating a dynasty around his family.
The ZANU-PF Central Committee's decision was seen as a significant turning point in Zimbabwe's political history, marking the end of Mugabe's 37-year rule and paving the way for a new era of leadership in the country.
