EMBATTLED Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe called a cabinet meeting for this morning after his party’s MPs moved to impeach him today.

With characteristic chutzpah, Mr Mugabe called the meeting yesterday evening for 9am at the State House in Harare, saying all ministers “should attend.”

Mr Mugabe is supposedly under house arrest following last Tuesday’s military coup but led a university graduation ceremony on Friday. He was widely expected to announce he was stepping down live on TV on Sunday night, but, despite being flanked by generals who backed last week’s coup against him, to the dismay of his many critics he failed to do so in a rambling and incoherent speech.
