HARARE (Reuters) -Zimbabwe's parliament has received a motion to impeach President Robert Mugabe after the army seized power last week, Speaker Jacob Mudenda said on Tuesday. Mugabe led the country's liberation war and has ruled since independence in 1980 but is seeing the swift erosion of his power.
