Mugabe agrees to resign but wants to keep his private properties and full immunity for himself and wife

An official source with direct knowledge of negotiations says that Zimbabwe leader Robert Mugabe has agreed to the terms of his resignation and a letter has been drafted.

The source said generals had given into many of Mugabe’s demands including full immunity for himself and his wife Grace, and also that he would keep his private properties.

The source added that the generals’ aim with Sunday’s televised address was to get Mugabe to declare the military’s actions constitutional and that he accepted them.

The source said that for a resignation to take place, a letter must first be sent to the speaker of Parliament.
