Robert Mugabe
Saturday's events are an extraordinary show of support for the military's move to step in and put longtime President Robert Mugabe under house arrest. Impatient Zimbabweans are urging the reluctant Mugabe to step aside.
The Zimbabwe Grounds were chosen for the symbolism. The location is where Zimbabweans gathered to cheer  Mugabe 's return from exile in 1980 after the liberation war from white minority rule.
Now the crowds wish to meet there and urge  Mugabe 's departure.
Opponents of  Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe  are preparing to demonstrate for the ouster of the 93-year-old leader who is virtually powerless and deserted by most of  his  allies.
Zimbabwe's generals have placed  Mugabe  under house arrest and have allowed  him  limited movement while talks on  his  exit from office unfold. But many Zimbabweans are growing impatient and want  him  to leave immediately.
Protesters hope a big turnout on Saturday will speed up the official end of  Mugabe 's rule  which is widely blamed for the collapse of an economy that was once one of Africa's wealthiest.
