First heralded as a liberator who rid the former British colony Rhodesia of white minority rule Robert Mugabe came to be best known for repression and fear

Robert Mugabe, the former guerrilla hero turned despot who ruled Zimbabwe for 37 years until the military forced him out, has died aged 95.

It is with the utmost sadness that I announce the passing on of Zimbabwe's founding father and former President, Cde Robert Mugabe Cde Mugabe was an icon of liberation, a pan-Africanist who dedicated his life to the emancipation and empowerment of his people. His contribution to the history of our nation and continent will never be forgotten.

In Zvimba, Mugabe's rural homestead, another nephew Leo Mugabe told reporters the family had"not yet deliberated on where he is going to be buried".South African President Cyril Ramaphosa remembered Mugabe as a"liberation fighter" and a"champion of Africa's cause against colonialism".
