Ruling Zanu PF party on Sunday said the late former President Robert Mugabe will be remembered for championing Zimbabwe’s land reform programme.

Mugabe died on September 6 last year in Singapore where he was receiving medical treatment at age 95.

In a tweet, Zanu PF also credited Mugabe for participating in the country’s war of liberation.

“Today marks the 1st year following the death of our founding father , National hero and African Statesman President Robert Gabriel Mugabe. Affectionately known as Gushungo , we remember him for leading the liberation struggle, land reform and the foundation of an independent Zanu PF,” said the party.

South African opposition party, Economic Freedom Fighters said Mugabe ‘s legacy was on land reform .

“Mugabe’s greatest legacy is the fast track land reform programme in Zimbabwe by which the world saw how resolute Mugabe was in his commitment to resolving the timeless question of the return of African land back to African people and the use of African wealth for the development of Africa.

“On this day, we remember Mugabe’s hard work in rebuilding a country ruined by the war against colonial powers. For his commitment to the fight for Africa and her wealth to be returned to her people, he faced unimaginable attacks from the West,” said EFF.
