You have the general, Constantino Chiwenga, who is both liberator and potential dictator - depending on whom you ask. You have the vice-president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, a man with a questionable past and possibly bright future as the leader of Zimbabwe. Both men served in Mugabe's government for years and their complicity in alleged wrongdoing and human rights abuses cannot be ignored.
The sequel to "The Fall of Robert Mugabe" will perhaps be a less racy read, without gun-battles and marches in Harare. However, if its authors, the leaders and people of Zimbabwe, want to see this drama retold countless times as the success story of a nation, they will have to make some hard decisions about leaders.
New leaders will have to abandon the ways of the past, that saw cronyism and nepotism strip a rich country of its glory. They will also need to place the people of Zimbabwe at the centre of government. The voice of the people must never be silenced.
Zimbabweans may have to be ruthless by excluding those who helped sink Zimbabwe if the country's story is to have a happy ending.
