HARARE: Zimbabwe's former president Robert Mugabe cried and lamented "betrayal by his lieutenants" when he agreed to step down last week beneath power from the army and his birthday celebration after 37 years in power, the Standard newspaper said in its Sunday edition.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa, a former Mugabe loyalist, used to be sworn in on Friday and a spotlight is all in favour of whether he'll identify a broad-based government or choose figures from Mugabe's era.
The newspaper quoted resources inside of Mugabe's interior circle as pronouncing the religious Catholic held a rosary as he instructed his shut buddies and a crew of negotiators at his "Blue House" Harare mansion that he used to be resigning. He announced the decision as parliament heard a motion to impeach him.
"He looked down and said 'people were chameleons'," one of the resources used to be quoted as pronouncing.
The state-owned Sunday Mail quoted Father Fidelis Mukonori, a Jesuit priest who's a close Mugabe friend and mediated his resignation with the army, as pronouncing Mugabe's face "just glowed" after he signed the resignation letter.
"So we are not talking about a bitter man. I told him that it was good for him to see someone running the country...," Mukonori instructed the Sunday Mail.
Neither Father Mukonori nor Mugabe's shut aides were instantly available for comment.
Mugabe's fall after 37 years in power used to be spurred by means of a struggle to prevail him that pitted Mnangagwa, who had stood by means of him for 52 years, and Mugabe's wife Grace, who's 52.
The privately-owned Standard newspaper, which has been critical of Mugabe and his government through the years, recommended Mnangagwa to "walk the talk on graft".
At his swearing in ceremony on Friday, Mnangagwa said he valued democracy, tolerance and the rule of thumb of regulation and would take on corruption. He has also recommended electorate not to adopt "vengeful retribution".
The new government is already moving to convey some of Mugabe and his wife's shut buddies to e book and former finance minister Ignatius Chombo used to be in court on Saturday on corruption fees.
Chombo used to be among several individuals of a bunch allied to Grace who were detained and expelled from the ruling ZANU-PF birthday celebration after the army seized power in "Operation Legacy" which it said used to be supposed to remove the "criminals" around Mugabe.
Chombo, who instructed the court he used to be forcibly removed from his house on Nov. 15 by means of armed males dressed in military uniform, used to be detained till Monday when his bail application might be heard. He used to be led away in leg irons along with ousted head of the ruling ZANU-PF's influential early life league Kudzanai Chipanga.
