We're ending our coverage of the inauguration of Zimbabwe's new President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who in his address to a packed stadium, vowed to serve all citizens.

It is the culmination of a dramatic 10 days in Zimbabwe, with a military takeover, mass demonstrations and Robert Mugabe's resignation after 37 years of authoritarian rule.

Mr Mnangagwa did pay tribute to Mr Mugabe, calling him "a father, mentor, comrade-in-arms and my leader".

Emmerson Mnangagwa, Zimbabwe’s new president whose nickname is “the crocodile”, has pledged to crack down on corruption, hold elections on schedule and restore relations with the West.

Here are the key moments from his speech that were applauded by the 60,000-strong crowd.

Former president Robert Mugabe is set to receive a $10m (£7.5m) payout following his resignation, according to the Zimbabwe Independent.

The private weekly newspaper reports that a $5m lump sum will be paid, external to Mr Mugabe, with the remainder in installments - alongside medical cover, security arrangements, and more.

"Mugabe’s negotiators managed to strike a deal with the generals to enable the 93-year-old former president not to go into exile but rather enjoy his retirement in Zimbabwe with all his benefits," it said.

The news did not go down well with Wilf Mbanga, editor of The Zimbabwean:

Zimbabwe's new President Emmerson Mnangagwa denies any involvement in the notorious Matabeleland massacres of the early 1980s.

But he was in charge of state security when North Korean-trained security forces killed thousands.

Melwa Ngwenya, father to one of the victims, told the BBC justice has never been served.

Emmerson Mnangagwa's speech of reconciliation will be widely welcomed in Zimbabwe, even if his powers of oratory fell well short of those of his predecessor.

He reached out to people across the "ethnic, racial and political" divides, following years of deep polarisation under Robert Mugabe.

However, those Zimbabweans who can recall the days before Mr Mugabe - the minority - will know that when he took power in 1980, he made similar pledges, and was widely praised for it, both at home and around the world.

What Zimbabweans really want is for Mr Mnangagwa to breath new life into their failed economy.

Here, he also made all the right noises, recognising the severity of the problem.

He even promised compensation to the white farmers whose eviction caused the economy to spiral into free-fall. However, it is not clear where he would get the money from, and he did insist that land reform itself was non-negotiable.

He also accepted that he would not be judged on his speeches, but on his actions.

All Zimbabweans will agree with that.

A journalist has posted video of the moment when the police chief Augustine Chihuri was booed by the crowds whilst making his pledge to the new president.

The police chief is seen as having sided with former First Lady Grace Mugabe in the political battle that preceded the army takeover.

The crowd were chanting "ngaende", which in the Shona language means "he must go".

His officers are also very unpopular for soliciting bribes at the country's many road blocks - which to the joy of Zimbabweans have been absent since military intervention.

Maynard Manyowa also posted a contrasting moment when Botswana's President Ian Khama - a critic of former President Robert Mugabe - entered the stadium to cheers.

In a sign that Emmerson Mnangagwa wants to do things differently from his predecessor, he and his wife entered Harare’s National Sports Stadium on foot for his swearing-in ceremony.

This is in stark contrast to Robert Mugabe, who always drove in for events here.

It was a colourful ceremony, with 60,000 people packed into the stadium from all parts of the country.

And not everyone could get in – before the proceedings started, the army had to close the gates, so many watched and listened from outside.

Mr Mnangagwa paid tribute to Mr Mugabe and his legacy, but promised to change the country’s “poisonous” political culture, saying its polarisation had led to the military intervention.

He spoke about the need to fight corruption, which is a big scourge here.

Much of the speech focused on how he hoped to revitalise the economy and create jobs.

In the opinion of economist Terence Shumba the president’s speech got a thumbs-up.

“He wants to take us back to where we were in the 1990s and I’m sure his all-inclusive economic policies are going to take us back there,” he said.

Zimbabwe used to be the breadbasket of the region until the controversial and violent land redistribution programme of the early 2000s.

Mr Mnangagwa said white farmers weren’t going to get their land back, but said they would be compensated and he wanted the sector to become profitable again.

Mr Shumba said as one of Zimbabwe’s born frees – those born after independence in 1980 who make up nearly 70% of the population – the address also inspired confidence.

“For young people like me… we all felt charged by his speech, we felt that this was the first time ever we have been included in the running of the economy.”

South African President Jacob Zuma has sent congratulations to Zimbabwe's new president.

Mr Zuma did not attend the ceremony in Zimbabwe, instead taking part in pre-arranged talks with the leader of Angola.

In his media briefing afterwards, he said:

Zimbabwe's finance minister - who has been held by the military since it moved against Robert Mugabe last week - has been handed over to police custody, the Zimbabwe Mail reports.

Ignatius Chombo, a long-time ally of the former president, had also been hospitalised "as he was not well", his lawyer told the newspaper.

He did not provide further details about Mr Chombo's health.

He said the minister "would appear in court, likely on charges of abuse of office".

A respected Zimbabwean newspaper publisher has tweeted his praise for Emmerson Mnangagwa's inaugural presidential address:

His reference to Gukurahundi is about the military campaign conducted in the early 1980s and in the Shona language means "the early rain which washes away the chaff before the spring rains".

An estimated 20,000 people, mainly ethnic Ndebele villagers, were killed by then-President Robert Mugabe's North Korea-trained soldiers as a way of putting down dissent in the south of the country.

As national security minister at the time, Mr Mnangagwa was in charge of the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO), which worked hand in glove with the army.

Mr Mnangagwa, whose fearsome reputation has earned him the nickname "the crocodile", has denied any role in the massacres.

But Mr Ncube notes that this painful moment in the country's history was ignored in the speech, and no apology was forthcoming.

On the day of the inauguration of Zimbabwe's new president, journalist Cris Chinaka has shared in an article for Reuters, external his experience of spending a third of a century reporting on Robert Mugabe.

He recalls that Mr Mugabe always had a sense of humour when it came to suggestions that he was dying.

In 2010 he told Chinaka: “So, you are the man who has been reporting that I am dying?”

They sat down for a 90-minute interview where Chinaka brought up the reports that Mr Mugabe was dying of cancer.

For the first time the then president said a line that he would repeat many times.

“Jesus died once, and resurrected only once - and poor Mugabe several times.”

Robert Mugabe offered to send his wife into exile in a foreign country in order to retain power, reports South Africa's Mail and Guardian, external.

The newspaper spoke to insiders who witnessed his final days in power.

One insider privy to the negotiations told the Mail and Guardian that Mr Mugabe offered to have Grace Mugabe flown abroad in a telephone conversation with Emmerson Mnangagwa.

“[Mnangagwa] told him that he should look around him, that he always said he would leave when the people no longer loved him. Saturday showed him that the people no longer loved him [Mugabe],” said an insider.

MDC opposition politician Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushongwa has some reservations about the events of the last week.

She has told the BBC the euphoria that many Zimbabweans are feeling today is understandable, but she urges caution:

Tweeters have a message for the new president of Zimbabwe: Our pockets are empty.

People are posing for pictures with their pockets pulled out to show they have no money. It's in protest at the state of the Zimbabwean economy.

It's a regular Friday protest:

Emmerson Mnangagwa lacks his predecessor's oratory skills, but the response to his first address as Zimbabwean president has been generally positive.

A human rights activist hopes he keeps to his word about forgiveness and building a united country:

Another twitter user hopes Mr Mnangagwa keeps to his word about jobs and reviving the economy, which suffered terribly under former President Robert Mugabe:

A prominent opposition politician says: "Not a bad speech - none of the belligerency of Mugabe - but little to give hope that the constitution in all its fullness will be respected and embraced."
