http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5097215/Zimbabwe-s-ruling-party-remove-Mugabe-Sunday.htmlZimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has agreed to step down after 37 years in power.
The world's oldest leader is due to officially announce his departure on live television tonight.
The news was greeted with ecstatic celebrations all over the country, with cars honking horns and crowds spontaneously taking to the streets of the capital.
Hordes of people danced, sang and shouted anti-Mugabe slogans in scenes that looked likely to overshadow yesterday's protests on the streets of Harare tonight.
It came after MailOnline exclusively revealed that the elderly dictator was in a state of psychological collapse, crying for his dead son and late first wife, refusing to speak or wash and staging a desperate hunger strike.
Emmerson 'Crocodile' Mnangagwa, the former Vice President who was appointed the new leader of the Zanu-PF this morning, now looks destined to become Zimbabwe's new president as early as tomorrow.
