Robert Mugabe died in the early hours of Friday morning in a hospital in Singapore aged 95.
Mugabe was ousted from power in a military coup in November 2017. Biti says although he was tortured by Robert Mugabe, he remains the founding father of Zimbabwe: Mugabe was harshly criticised for implementing the land distribution programme of 2000 where farms were seized without compensation.The agricultural sector suffered a massive blow as the new black land owners failed to take over the running of the farms.
“He was clever enough not to confront the people who were occupying the farms, because if he had done that – it would have escalated to a point where he could have been even overthrown because the land issue was a burning issue in the liberation struggle.”
