Members of Canada’s Zimbabwean community disappointed with Mugabe speech
Members of Canada’s Zimbabwean community have been waiting days for news the country’s president for 37 years would resign, so when word finally came that Robert Mugabe would make the announcement in a live broadcast on Sunday, they made sure they tuned in.
But when Mugabe, 93, spoke, he didn’t step down and said he planned to address his party’s congress next month.
“Everybody was waiting for the words, ‘I resign. I hereby resign,’” said Vuso Moyana, who watched Mugabe on his iPad with his friends in a Toronto restaurant where they were having lunch after church.
“It was just amazing that he could say the things that he was, as if he’s someone who is still in charge.”
