A picture of former Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe, 93, and his wife Grace – purported to have been taken just before the nonagenarian signed his resignation letter on Tuesday – has gone viral on social media.
This is the first picture that has emerged since Mugabe stepped down.
The picture shows Mugabe and his wife with the veteran leader’s “friends”, including the country’s former reserve bank governor Gideon Gono.
Grace looks “humbled”.
Writes social media user @mtyala: “Grace looks like she hasn’t slept in days, the arrogance wiped from her face. What’s “stress” in Shona?
See the picture and the reaction from various social media users below.

Former Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe and his wife Grace, first photo in retirement after being disposed by the military. Like all other dictators, Mugabe may now have to spend and later die in exile.@DanielKanyerezi @DavyLubz @cnnbrk @BBCBreaking @wmosest @nbstv pic.twitter.com/yv5s9oQ3Vn
