Mugabe Awaiting His Fate In His 'Blue Roof' Mansion with Reviled Wife

Robert Mugabe is believed to be hunkered down in his Blue Roof mansion on Wednesday morning alongside reviled wife Grace as the pair wait to learn their fate following the dictator's historic resignation yesterday.

The 93-year-old who ruled Zimbabwe for 37 years had been rumoured to be due to leave the country for exile abroad last night, while his wife remained behind to face prosecution. 

But Mugabe did not emerge as tens of thousands of Zimbabweans danced all night to celebrate his peaceful ousting in a drawn-out military coup.
