Robert Mugabe dies aged 95

Zimbabwe’s founding leader Robert Mugabe has died in Singapore aged 95, two sources in touch with his family told ZimLive on Friday.

Mugabe had been battling ill-health and President Emmerson Mnangagwa told a Cabinet meeting two weeks ago that doctors had “taken him off life support.”

“There’s nothing more they can do for him,” Mnangagwa told Cabinet, according to a minister who was present.

Mugabe, ousted from power in a military coup in November 2017, was being treated in Singapore since April.
