Particularly to the Defense Force and also to the two forces in zimbabwe i have also. Conducted he said president mugabe. Whom i had time to to talk. And he is fine but confined in his home zuma plans to send a special envoy to the country. The crisis began on tuesday with reports of military vehicles rolling towards the capital good morning the army gave a statement on state television insisting the situation is not a military takeover we are only targeting criminals are only. Committing crimes that are causing social and economic suffering in the country in order to bring them just hours after issuing the statement the army again restated its position. The state run newspaper printed a special edition on wednesday afternoon in its in the army says president Robert Mugabe is still head of state and commander in chief. The bobbins of only known one leader since one nine hundred eighty the mugabe family is an institution some people love the president and his wife grace mugabe are the say over the years the mugabes have destroyed the economy this is uncharted territory for the country zimbabwes military has said soldiers will only return to the barracks when all those are the keys of trying to destabilize and destroy the party from within had been arrested. Aljazeera had. Over the years many is in bar where her fled political persecution and Economic Hardship for a new life in south africa tania page has the reaction from an area known as little harare in johannesburg. This busy bus stop is the first for many zimbabweans arriving in south africa every day passes come and go to zimbabwes made centers carrying people and essentially its in short supply via. T. V. And is among the zimbabweans we spoke to who hope military intervention means she will one day go home permanently well since the army took power. Into now the president is now all from this its. Just a because its now in the hands of africa trying to solve these dreadful say that i can feed my family i think what is in your mouth is what it was its not where. We are going to be and we had been called to my brother by the way we already went because our country we dont enjoy to stay in our country and its uncertain how many zimbabweans are in south africa as the statistics arent reliable but in the last census one point seven Million People were foreign nationals most likely to be zimbabwean here to work and for political reasons some of the zimbabweans here dont want to talk to us because this kid some opposition parties played the seclusion others simply because theyre about to get on a bus to go home so that i want to be critical its clear exactly whats happening. Some say they feel pessimistic about any change leaving a potential new leader my only look after the interests of a few elites just coming out on others but most zimbabweans we spoke to agreed it isnt the military nor politicians who should be in control but people like them the voters we must. Not lose them so that the people of zimbabwe elected government of choice and everyone here is hoping the next text or call from home is good news tanya page out is there a johannesburg. Well joining in this years nick brandon hes a Senior Researcher at the Africa Research institute so one of the development weve had to enduring this evening is that the head of the youth wing of the ruling party publicly apologizing on state television for to the military what do you make of that apology by could such bag well i think its quite an extraordinary statement from from him really i mean twenty four hours ago or so he was saying he was prepared to die you know for Robert Mugabe and and making all sorts of claims and now hes essentially realize that you know there wasnt really any authority behind behind him in the youth league and that actually their power is completely evaporated so an apology both to the general and to the zimbabwean Defense Forces and indeed to the people of zimbabwe is its quite a ute and does that give us an indication of the kind of the scale of control that this coup which is not theyre not theyre not allowing us to call a coup of this takeover if he has well i think it certainly exposed people who clearly had an agenda that was you know linked to war in support of grace mugabes and theyre very vulnerable there so obviously theyre in a position where they have to try and make up and mend fences i mean do we have any indication of who the people are who they talked about wanting to kind of round up sort of the criminal element as they are they called in their statements do we know the kind of the makeup of those of those caressed saw all of this a few names that have been cited so. Who was recently appointed as the finance minister and whos should we say has acquired some assets that are disproportionate to his his anticipated wealth. He you know hes certainly been cited as one one person that. You know. Was a criminal element shall we say and i mean a couple of other figures again loyal to grayson gobby were detained reportedly along with mugabe is out there already the president s so what do you expect. Happen next with it and how quickly will we have any kind of indication of where this is going i mean thats a good question really i think everyone was hoping that this could be resolved within the week and. You know we might see some sort of negotiated transition starting with the reappointment of some long nongod who are. By the end of the week but but i think really the sort of ultimate goal would be to have this resolved by the time of zanu p. F. Congress next month.
