Thousands of people took to the streets of Harare today in a historic show of unity to demand an end to the 37-year reign of dictator Robert Mugabe.Military helicopters flew low overhead as huge crowds marched into the centre of the city, waving Zimbabwean flags and chanting ‘remove the dictator’ and ‘Mugabe, our country is not your property’.

Some also shouted ‘Ngwena, Ngwena’, or ‘Crocodile, Crocodile’, in support of sacked vice-president Emmanuel ‘Crocodile’ Mnangagwa, the favourite to become the next leader.
