It is with the utmost sadness that I announce the passing on of Zimbabwe's founding father and former President, Cde Robert Mugabe (1/2)

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 his country and continent will never be forgotten. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
Sometimes in life you are going to have people that love and hate you.
