It has been another extraordinary day in the history of Zimbabwe - here is a summary of the latest events...
Mugabe remains head of state against all the odds after refusing to resign as president.
He was expected to stand down in a historic address live on television after conceding to military takeover.
But instead he clings to power following a rambling speech which left the nation stunned and baffled.
In a statement delivered in Harare he claimed military intervention, which saw him placed under house arrest four days ago, was no challenge to his authority.
The army stepped in to block Grace Mugabe’s tilt at power.
Speaking slowly and occasionally stumbling as he read from pages, Mugabe talked of the need for solidarity to resolve national problems.
He ended his speech by saying he will preside over an upcoming conference of the ruling Zanu-PF party.
His defiance comes despite his sacking by Zanu-PF and in the face of huge public opposition.
The news means widespread disappointment for those who thought they were witnessing the end of the Mugabe era and celebrated in euphoric scenes in the streets of Zimbabwe yesterday.
His refusal to go plunges the country into deep uncertainty.
The leader of Zimbabwe’s influential war veterans said plans for impeachment would go ahead as scheduled.
The generals involved in the military takeover will issue a statement on Monday.

Speaking earlier Nkosi added: “Remember there is part of the community that still respects Robert Mugabe for the role he played in the liberation struggle against white minority rule. He was in prison for 10 years, he fought his way through until Zimbabweans gained their own independence in 1980. So there are people who still respect him even though they want him to step down so their lives can move on and that is why we don’t have a Gaddafi moment today.”
Reacting to Mugabe’s speech, BBC news analyst Milton Nkosi said: “He has vowed to stay on. He wants to die in office. But it is clear there is very little room for him to manoeuvre. There is no way for him to survive this week”.
Chris Mutsvangwa, the chairman of the Zimbabwe War Veterans Association and leader of the campaign to oust the embattled president, says Mugabe is “deaf and blind” to the desires of the people.
