Please NO!!! I don't want him as my neighbour when I die.
Always informative to see who eulogises the man in glowing obituaries. At least it helps to clarify who are the real enemies of the people:

No one has robbed them of anything, they voted for ZANU PF, finish.
Mandela was also 95 when he died.I think it's kind of ironic that he shares his day of death with Hendrik Vervoerd......

Yes, there will be mourning. Not, perhaps, for the man himself; but certainly for the devastating, perhaps irreversible damage he’s done to the country that he promised to cherish and serve so many years ago.
Robert Mugabe’s death is no tragedy; his life, ultimately, was.
Mugabe’s secret was that he was always the cleverest person in the room. His formidable intellect took him from a modest background into some of the best schools in the land — the best black schools, of course, because he was a second-class citizen in colonial Rhodesia — and then to the University of Fort Hare in South Africa, which was then a production line for extraordinary Africans. Nelson Mandela studied there, as did Oliver Tambo, Julius Nyerere and Kenneth Kaunda. .
Mugabe allowed Smith to serve as a member of the Zimbabwean parliament in a powerful gesture of forgiveness and reconciliation. Mugabe was not always a tyrant.
He set to work forging perhaps the finest education system in Africa, and turned Zimbabwe into the fabled ‘breadbasket for southern Africa’. Things were looking up, and he was celebrated by his peers and feted by the international community. Mugabe was a bona fide African hero, and he relished the attention.
No it doesn't, many apartheid leaders also got glowing tributes when they died, that is just how it is and will always be, sympathizers will always find something nice to say.What's sad is that having "struggle credentials" seems to absolve any crime in some people's eyes.
Sky News blurb says it best - Robert Mugabe, from liberator to tyrant.
