HARARE, Zimbabwe �� Former President Robert Mugabe won't face prosecution and is free to remain in the Zimbabwe after his resignation on Tuesday after 37 years in power.
Simon Khaya Moyo, a spokesman for the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front, said: "We don't have anything against him or his family. He's the hero of our liberation."
Emmerson Mnangagwa was due to be sworn in on Friday to replace Mugabe, who had ruled since the country won its independence in 1980. Moyo said he didn't think any members of the opposition would be included in the new administration.
"To my knowledge, there aren't any plans to include the opposition in the government while Zanu-PF has the people's mandate," he said. "The party won the last election and will rule as normal."
