The March that was part of a series of events which led to Robert Mugabe’s resignation after 37 years.
On Monday 13 November, General Constantine Chiwenga issued a warning to “counter-revolutionaries” within ZANU-PF against “reckless utterances denigrating the military” and that, “the history of our revolution cannot be rewritten by those who have not been part of it”.
On Tuesday 14 November, General Sibusiso Moyo announced on live television that the Zimbabwe Defence Forces had temporarily taken over Harare, in an act they advised was not a military coup.
On Saturday 18 November 2017, Zimbabweans took to the streets and marched on the State House - the presidential residence of Robert Mugabe.
Dubbed “the Coup that went to Private School”, the state of the nation together with a call made by the Zimbabwe War Veterans Leader Chris Mutsvangwa, Zimbabweans from varying backgrounds made their way to the streets in a Solidarity March. The march advocated against the Mugabe regime whilst popularising the army as superheroes, General Chiwenga as “Commander Bae” and Emmerson Mnangagwa as a presidential candidate.
Following the march and the initiation of an impeachment process, Robert Gabriel Mugabe stepped down as Zimbabwean president by way of a letter to the speaker of Parliament as dictated by the country’s constitution.
