Beligerant "Uncle Bob" facing impeachment UPDATE: HE's RESIGNED

The military takeover last week which placed Robert "Uncle Bob" Mugabe and his wannabe despot wife under house arrest last week received widespread support from most sectors of the country.

Bob has refused to bow out and this has lead to bolder and bolder steps to have him removed.

Crouds of protesters have marched calling for his resignation and over the week-end the ruling party Zanu-PF "recalled" him and expelled his wife from the party.

The recall gave him until yesterday to resign as president of the country or face impeachment proceeding beginning today.

Today the motion for impeachment is to be placed before parliament for a vote.

Mugabe has many mansions all over the world he could "retire" to, but South Africa seems to be a little out of the question for the time being.

His wife, it would seem, assaulted a model with an electrical extension cord last time she was in SA and with those allegations doing the rounds and potential criminal charges pending for assault with the intent to do grievous bodily harm, SA may not be the best spot for him to settle.

SA and BOB as out northern neighbor have always had and interesting relationship. Check out this funny add below from Christmas time a couple of years back.

It had to be pulled rather quickly from TV, you can see more about the fallout here.

UPDATE: a little over an hour ago he finally resigned.

There is jubilation in the streets as the country goes nuts about the news.
