"Welcome to the new Zimbabwe", ecstatic Zimbabweans keep saying to me in the streets of Harare. A number have also said "Now you journalists can come here and do your work without fear".
From multiple sources I can confirm that it appears Ignatius Chombo has been arrested.
Still unconfirmed but sources say Prof Jonathan Moyo and Saviour Kasukuwere are under arrest or on the run.
#Zimbabwe
Last night the first family was detained and are safe, both for the constitution and the sanity of the nation this was necessary. Neither Zimbabwe nor ZANU are owned by Mugabe and his wife. Today begins a fresh new era and comrade Mnangagwa will help us achieve a better Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe has not had a coup. There has been a decision to intervene because our constitution had been undermined, in the interim Comrade E Mnagngawa will be president of ZANU PF as per the constitution of our revolutionary organisation.
