Former Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe to be buried at Heroes Acre, a hilltop shrine reserved exclusively for Zimbabwe's ruling elite – official
In this Wednesday, April 18, 2012 file photo, Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe lights a flame at celebrations in Harare marking 32 years of independence.
"Comrade Mugabe will be buried at the Heroes Acre," deputy information minister Energy Mutodi said. "That is where he deserves to rest." The state-run Herald newspaper, which vilified Mugabe when he was forced to resign and when he subsequently voiced support for the opposition, carried glowing tributes.
"Whatever happened towards the end of his leadership should not be used to rubbish the good things that he did during his life," the commander of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces and one of the commanders who led the military campaign to oust Mugabe after years of propping his rule, was quoted as saying in a separate story in the newspaper.Others were less charitable. "95 and out," read the privately-owned Newsday newspaper.
"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.
