Former President John Dramani Mahama has described the late Robert Mugabe as a “legend of the African Liberation struggle”.

The longest-serving Zimbabwean leader died after battling ill-health at a hospital in Singapore on Friday, 6 September 2019.

He was ousted in a military coup in November 2017.

He was 95.

Commiserating with the family and the people of Zimbabwe, Mr Mahama, in Facebook post, said despite his flaws in the later years, Mugabe “will always be remembered as a great fighter for freedom and a dedicated Pan-Africanist.”

“He will be remembered for the great strides Zimbabwe made in education and healthcare in the immediate post-independence period,” he added.
