Incumbent President of Zimbabwe, Emmerson Mnangagwa, confirmed the death of the first post-independent president of the country.

“It is with the utmost sadness that I announce the passing on of Zimbabwe's founding father and former President, Cde Robert Mugabe”, Mnangagwa tweeted on Friday.

Reacting, Fani-Kayode, a former minister under ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, described the late Robert Mugabe as a fearless and defiant African leader.

“A great son of Africa has fallen. He was courageous and defiant. His struggle to liberate Zimbabwe from white minority rule was outstanding. He led his army from the jungle,won the hearts of his people, swept away the tyrant and took the throne. May the soul of Robert Mugabe RIP”, FFK wrote on Twitter.
