Robert Mugabe will be buried at a hilltop shrine reserved exclusively for Zimbabwe's ruling elite, an official said Saturday, as the southern African nation began several days of official mourning.
"We don't have the date yet," deputy information minister Energy Mutodi said."That is still in the hands of the family and the president, but comrade Mugabe will be buried at the Heroes Acre. That is where he deserves to rest." Reaction to his death was mixed, although praise ironically came mostly from ruling party officials and military leaders.
In an editorial page, the newspaper praised Mugabe for"his uncompromising stance when it came to the rights of Africans." "Notwithstanding the many mistakes that he made, many Zimbabweans will probably agree that had he not held on to power beyond the 1990s, he would today be largely remembered as one of Africa's best leaders in history," the paper said in an editorial.
Mugabe was a mildly-retarded mass murderer. Zimbabwe was far worse off following his reign than it was prior. Who, exactly, is mourning?
A small number of now very rich people in Zimbabwe mourn...
Someone will desecrate his grave eventually
He did give them the dream of being zillionaires. Isn’t that what the Left wants here?
Um... why no mention he was a brutal dictator, ABC? You use quotes from cronies (in military) who exhonorate & idolize him. You mention a celebration of him and admit how small it was, but never ask any opposition about his rule while dictator. This is propoganda not journalism.
I don't think they care, they are too busy trying to survive after Mugabe 's disastrous policies.
Sure they are.
How do you mount a man who totally destroyed your country ?
now the show begins as he roasts in hell...time and time again...
romancing Mugabe
The people aren't mourning that dispicable despot.
Robert Mugabe will not be missed in Africa. He was a ferverous and cruel dictator. Did nothing for his country.
Not by choice
Why would you mourn a tyrant a thug and a murderer
Not a good look, ABC. Might as well write a article praising Hitler too.
Why exactly they should throw a party?
They were mourning for decades when he was running the place
Vivió bastante, más que sus víctimas.
I am celebrating his death. He ruined his country.
Mugabe was a horrible man that killed a lot of people. I'm kinda glad that he is no longer with us.
Why?
