| Military vehicles 'heading towards Zimbabwe capital' amid political purge |
| 2017-11-14 |
| Military vehicles have been seen heading towards the Zimbabwean capital Harare after a military chief warned the army could "step in" amid a political row. On Monday, the head of the armed forces General Constantino Chiwenga demanded an end to a purge in the ruling ZANU-PF party after the sacking of the country's vice president Emmerson Mnangangwa. General Chiwenga said his forces may intervene if the removal from influential positions of key figures in Zimbabwe's 1970s liberation wars goes on. Mr Mnangagwa, 75, a veteran of the liberation wars, had been viewed as a probable successor to 93-year-old Robert Mugabe before the president fired him on 6 November. His sacking appeared to pave the way for Mr Mugabe's 52-year-old wife Grace to succeed him. Well OK then... |
