Mugabe's resignation sparks wild jubilation from Harare to Francistown

For over a week, he has been under mounting pressure to step down. According to media reports, Mugabe will be replaced by Emmerson Mnangagwa who he fired from the vice presidency early this month. It has been speculated that Mnangagwa of the leading Zanu-PF will lead a transitional government that will feature opposition parties.

 At Bots-Zim bar, which is located near Haskins Street, Zimbabweans danced and beeped their cars moments after the official announcement that Mugabe has stepped down.
