Poor showing at Robert Mugabe’s send-off underlines his fall from hero to dictator

At the memorial service, several African heads of states paid tribute to Mugabe as an African icon, principled leader and African intellectual giant.

“For years and generations to come, we shall continue to draw inspiration from the life, leadership and bravery, of this great man. Today, over 365,000 families have benefited from the land reform programme that our revolutionary icon led from the front.” In a voice quivering with grief, Mugabe’s nephew Walter Chidhakwa revealed that the former president “died a sad man”.

What a long road ahead for the people of zim, to repair his despot legacy.
