Mugabe Divides Zimbabwe In Death As Much As He Did In Life
6 September 2019
Former President Robert Mugabe, has died. Mugabe was 95, and had been struggling with ill health for some time.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa announced Mugabe’s death on Twitter on 6 September:
The responses to Mnangagwa’s announcement have been immediate and widely varied. Some hailed Mugabe as a liberation hero. Others dismissed him as a “monster”.
This suggests that Mugabe will be as divisive a figure in death as he was in life.
