Zimbabwe mourns for Robert Mugabe as flags fly at half-staff.
Robert Mugabe will be buried at a hilltop shrine reserved exclusively for Zimbabwe's ruling elite, an official said Saturday, as the southern African nation began several days of official mourning.
"We don't have the date yet," deputy information minister Energy Mutodi said."That is still in the hands of the family and the president, but comrade Mugabe will be buried at the Heroes Acre. That is where he deserves to rest." Reaction to his death was mixed, although praise ironically came mostly from ruling party officials and military leaders.
In an editorial page, the newspaper praised Mugabe for"his uncompromising stance when it came to the rights of Africans." "Notwithstanding the many mistakes that he made, many Zimbabweans will probably agree that had he not held on to power beyond the 1990s, he would today be largely remembered as one of Africa's best leaders in history," the paper said in an editorial.
