The Zimbabwean jokes and memes on Twitter are tumbling in, after a resignation speech by President Robert Mugabe that wasn’t a resignation… following a coup by the military that wasn’t a coup.
The world listened for 20 minutes as Mugabe basically said good night and left everyone totally confused.
Here are some of the reactions on Twitter:
Hee…hee…heee #Mugabe resigned in meandos. This is a funny President.#Zimbabwe pic.twitter.com/xK6ZSQaQRR

#Mugabe What just happened. At end he apologized for 'missing some pages', were they the ones where he was supposed to resign? Chiwenga's face looked like thunder.

Surely the 'I hereby resign was contained in those pages'

This should be a lesson to all commanders. Next time you give a president a resignation speech it should just be one page with two words, "I RESIGN." #Mugabe

#Mugabe is not a confused old man, he is a genius. He has wasted 20mins of the worlds time and left it more confused than it thought he was.

I am a year older than #mugabe and I know no one in their 90s should be head of state b/c the body and mind just don't have the resilience to put in the hours that our required each day to govern wisely.

Everyone thought President Robert #Mugabe of #Zimbabwe was resigning today. Instead, he gave one of the most bizarre speeches ever seen. The ending is even more awkward. #WhatJustHappened ??? pic.twitter.com/VA9iqFefKh

Breaking news:
ZANU PF through their Twitter feed have confirmed that the 'old man' Robert #Mugabe did not "stick" to the script of the speech he was given. He skipped the resignation part. ZANU PF have confirmed to impeach him tomorrow. #Zimbabwe— Lord Mutai (@ItsMutai) November 19, 2017
