INTERNATIONAL NEWS - While President Jacob Zuma deploys envoys to politically-charged Zimbabwe, that country's War Veterans Association says it’s time that Robert Mugabe is removed.
The association's Victor Matemadanda has held a briefing praising the military takeover, saying its "for the good of Zimbabwe".
The country's military seized power early on Wednesday morning targeting so-called "criminals" around Mugabe but gave assurances on national television that the 93-year-old leader and his family were "safe and sound".
Both Al Jazeera and CNN earlier reported that the whereabouts of Mugabe were unknown.
However, Zuma has confirmed that he spoke to Mugabe earlier on Wednesday.
“I have also contacted his Excellency President Mugabe whom I had time to talk to and he is fine but confined in his home.”
