Robert Mugabe dies at 95

The first post-independence president of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, has died at the age of 95 – Mugabe won Zimbabwe’s first election after independence and became the country’s prime minister in 1980, but was ousted as president in November 2017 – President Emmerson Mnangagwa has expressed his utmost sadness over the development, calling the late leader “Zimbabwe’s founding father” and “an icon of liberation”

Mugabe died in a hospital in Singapore on Friday surrounded by family including his wife, Grace.

“Sadly, we have lost him. It’s a day we hoped would never come, but he has had a good innings and is now rested,” a former minister in Mugabe’s government said.
