Do you think President Robert Mugabe should step down now?

The debate about the succession battle within the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front has been rekindled by the recent demonstrations by ordinary Zimbabweans especially cross-border traders, the government’s failure to pay civil servants on time and the mass stay-away last week.

To gauge public opinion from Insider readers we have started a poll which we will run weekly, every Wednesday.

Please check our front page just above the search box to participate.

This week’s question is: Do you think President Robert Mugabe should step down now. If so, who do you think should replace him?
