Zimbabwe military authority are
working to put in place an interim government that will lead the country till
elections, The Independent reports.
Mnangagwa, the vice president
sacked by Mugabe, who fled to South Africa last week, is the military’s
preferred candidate.
Leading opposition leader and
former prime minister, Morgan Tsvangirai, was also being considered by the
generals to deputise Mnangagwa.
Tsvangirai worked with Mugabe
between 2009 and 2013 in a unity government that temporarily revived Zimbabwe’s
economy.
He has been in South African
hospital for close to a month over an illness.
Meanwhile, opposition politicians
cautiously welcome the army intervention.
“Are the starving and suffering
people of Zimbabwe expected to feel sorry for Mugabe and his dynasty? Certainly
not,” said former deputy prime minister Arthur Mutambara.
“What is important now is to
answer the question: ‘How do we collectively work together to reconstruct our
country from the ashes that President Mugabe has bequeathed us.
“It is time for thorough
reflection, national leadership, vision and strategy.”
