I am so emotional. I never thought I would see this day. Mugabe has resigned in my lifetime. This is a stepping stone towards the Zimbabwe we want. It won’t be easy. #Zimbabwe

A peaceful end to the events in #Zimbabwe over the last few days, with the resignation of the President. Top marks to the defence force for a job well done. We continue to pray for peace, stability and growth.

Robert Mugabe’s resignation must be a lesson to us all. Fighting colonialism and white minority rule is not a license for corruption and dictatorship! #Mugabe #Zimbabwe

Historic day for Zimbabwe. Historic day for Africa. Africa’s face-lift generation beware – there is no longer any room for complacency. The road ahead will be bumpy and chaotic for Zimbabwe – but it now has an opportunity to chart a new course. #zimbabwe #mugaberesigns
