Zimbabwe Bids Farewell To Mugabe With State Funeral.
People sit and wait at the National Sports stadium where the official funeral for Robert Mugabe is to be held in Harare, on September 14, 2019/AFPZimbabwe gave former leader Robert Mugabe a state funeral on Saturday with African leaders paying tribute to a man lauded as a liberation hero but whose 37-year rule was defined by repression and economic turmoil.
Mugabe’s casket draped in the green, black, gold and red Zimbabwe flag was marched slowly into the stadium, accompanied by a military band and an escort of officers. His wife Grace, in a black veil, and family followed behind. Later, Mugabe turned to repression and fear to crush dissidents and rule for nearly four decades during which he become an international pariah for his takeover of white-owned farms.
Many are struggling to survive despite Mnangagwa’s vows of more investment and jobs in the post-Mugabe era. His family are still bitter over the role Mnangagwa played in his ouster and had pushed for Mugabe to be buried in his homestead of Zvimba, northwest of Harare.
