HARARE, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) -- Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe told his countrymen on live television on Sunday evening that he will chair the ruling party's congress in December to resolve problems afflicting the ZANU-PF.
Mugabe's address on national television came after the ZANU-PF's decision earlier Sunday to recall him from the position of party leader and gave him until noon Monday to resign as president or face impeachment proceedings.
