So apparently the coup was successful.

Given what happened earlier this month, it's more like a counter-coup against Grace Mugabe.

The opposition aren't exactly pro-Mugabe, do note.

Maybe not, but I doubt they're senseless. When ZANU-PF bigwigs are eager to shut the opposition out of the process the moment they can and with Mugabe being weak and isolated, whats the harm in holding back on impeachment to force concessions? A united and unified ZANU-PF led by some of its worst hardliners is unlikely to allow free elections unless they're forced to do so; this might be the last time the opposition will have leverage over anything for years.

Any concessions they get will be worthless the moment Mugabe is gone.
