Zimbabwe’s former President Robert Gabriel Mugabe is no more.
Mugabe breathed his last in a Singapore hospital where he has been since April.
Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa made the announcement on Twitter.
“It is with the utmost sadness that I announce the passing on of Zimbabwe’s founding father and former President, Cde Robert Mugabe,” a post on Mnangagwa’s official presidential Twitter account said.
In November, Mnangagwa said Mugabe was no longer able to walk when he had been admitted to a hospital in Singapore, without saying what treatment Mugabe had been undergoing.
