Mugabe detained, what's next for Zimbabwe?

Season 2017 Episode 1235 | 6m 06s

President Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe’s 93-year-old ruthless ruler since 1980, is under house arrest in his own mansion, detained by elements of his military. The generals say it’s not a coup, but it seems like one on the streets of the capital. Martin Geissler of Independent Television News reports from Harare and Hari Sreenivasan gets the reaction on the ground from journalist Tatira Zwinoira.
