Jane Mlambo| Former President Robert Mugabe has died.
He was 95.
Mugabe died in Singapore where he was seeking medical attention.
A close family source confirmed the development revealing that his family had left the country Friday morning to Singapore.
Mugabe’s spokesperson, Jealousy Mawarire posted on Twitter:
Mugabe had been in Singapore since April battling ill-health.
Addressing a cabinet meeting two weeks ago, President Emmerson Mnangagwa revealed that doctors had discontinued treatment on the country’s former leader but they were just keeping him under observation.
Ousted through a military coup that placed him under house arrest, Mugabe resigned in November 2017 after parliament had threatened to impeach him after accusing him of allowing his wife, Grace, to “usurp constitutional power”.
