Plane carrying Mugabe’s body lands in Zimbabwe
HARARE, Sept 11, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – A plane carrying the body of Zimbabwe’s
ex-president, Robert Mugabe, landed in Harare on Wednesday, an AFP reporter
said, for burial in a country divided over the legacy of his 37-year rule.
Mugabe, a guerrilla leader who rose to power after Zimbabwe’s independence
from Britain and governed until he was ousted by the military in 2017, died
in Singapore on Friday, aged 95.
