The marches will cap an remarkable week by which generals seized energy and put Mugabe beneath space arrest in a surprising turnaround for the president who has dominated since 1980.
The 93-year-old autocrat didn't surrender in talks with the army chief on Thursday and resources steered the veteran chief used to be "buying time" to negotiate an end to his 37 12 months reign.
Mugabe appeared publicly for the first time at a pre- planned graduation rite in Harare on Friday, further stoking questions over the standing of his discussions with General Constantino Chiwenga, who led the military energy grab.
Later in the day, eight of Mugabe's ruling party's 10 regional branches took to state television to name for him to head.
Cornelius Mupereri, a spokesman for ZANU-PF's Midlands area, used to be considered one of several party barons to appear on ZBC's nightly news to read virtually similar statements calling on Mugabe to quit.
Chris Mutsvangwa, chairman of the independence battle veterans' association, stated "the game is up" for Mugabe and introduced boulevard protests in opposition to the president.
"It's done, it's finished... The generals have done a fantastic job," he stated at a press convention in Harare.
"We want to restore our pride and (Saturday) is the day... we can finish the job which the army started."
