Former Zanu PF politburo member Dumiso Dabengwa says Zimbabweans must start considering a post-President Mugabe era as the only ruler they have known since independence is on his way out.

Dabengwa, who is now the leader of the revived Zapu, made the remarks during a lecture at Sapes Trust titled "The national question, how far towards its resolution?" on Thursday evening in Harare.

He said President Mugabe only managed to extend his political career beyond 2008 because of the magnanimity of his opponents after "losing the elections".

"Theoretically, Zimbabwe is on the brink of resolving the national question," Dabengwa said.

"Mugabe is on his way out, through electoral defeat or natural causes, whichever comes first.

Also, the country is working on the drafting of a new constitution, both of which should give us yet another chance to restart our life as a nation.

The dawn of a post Mugabe era and a new constitution surely are two very important political developments that we must fully utilise to resolve the national question."  

He said it was safe to leave President Mugabe "to God who created all of us and to voters."
