Mugabe's funeral will be tricky because there are so many narratives

This is a different narrative, laced with accusations of ingratitude and greed - and it has led some members of the Mugabe family to demand a private burial to protect the memory of their loved one."Imagine people you trusted, people that were guarding you, looking after you, against you," said Leo Mugabe.Relatives demanded that Mugabe be buried in his home village, Zvimba, but President Mnangagwa wants his former boss interred at the national cemetery, Hero's Acre.

Members of the opposition MDC party, who have their own stories to tell of beatings and abductions at the hands of Mr Mugabe's thugs, were surprisingly charitable after the dictator's death. The leader of the MDC, Nelson Chamisa, said he was"rising above political differences and personal animosities", adding"this is the time for mourning not political point scoring.

One woman, called Sheron, told me she has been waging her own internal argument about the former president. "He was a good man even though there were many things that wrong. Every country has tough times but we want to forgive him and try and concentrate on what is happening now." Funerals can be tricky when the story is not clear and Zimbabweans will be disagreeing about Robert Mugabe's for years and years to come.

Who on earth cares? Not our problem .

Just chuck him in the sea and have done with it Feed him to the sharks he doesn't deserve a funeral he's evil

What 5ft2

Only for the morally bankrupt. Is objective reality beyond you? What other bloodthirsty dictators do you give this to? He’s less complex than Stalin

Feed to the Feral Dogs 🐕 in the area.

Genocidal maniac. Yeh

Is that your business, sky news?

justice perhaps for family of those who were murdered abused robbed displaced by his racist and cruelty ,any foreign government official that go to his funeral want shaming as greedy buggers like him

Chuck him in the nearest skip. Job done.

I wonder how much that jacket is worth now?

Are you trying to dictate to Zimbabwe what to think of their independence hero? Stop with the patronizing.

The word 'Narratives' is being overused.

Only one ... *tyrant*!

Haha, hopefully the scenes of thousands of Zimbabweans paying their respects to Mugabe, your 'favourite dictator' has had you puking for days😂😂😂😂😂

Multidimensional

Like tyrant, lunatic, murderer, madman, despot, demi-god, torturer, dictator & teacher. Then we could start on his negative achievements, but conclude by stating 'the person who ruined Africa's richest country & economy!' ... Shall we continue?....

For crissake, he was 95. 'Died a bitter man'...so what? The presidency wasn't his birth right. What and why would they even mourn? Just bury the guy and move on.

rockstar jacket wow +1 fro style

I wonder what kinda narratives, even after the burial many narratives will overflow! Just lay the old man in peace!!

Avoid the narratives and let the old man Rest In Peace
