I'm conflicted #RIPMugabe you leave a very compicated legacy. Some will forever admire you as a liberation hero, but many who suffered under your harsh rule will only remember a dictator who ruined a country with great potential. You have run your race now time to face your Maker pic.twitter.com/yvQhXA1Hg7
It’s true what they say - the elixir of youth is power. If you want to live forever rule forever. What killed Mugabe is not old age - it’s the loss of power. #RIPMugabe
I’ve learned that the Zimbabwe ?? old man is no more
Despite his flaws which seemed superseding his good deeds ,the man stood firm on a vision for African independence ,May his vision lives amongst those with its interest at heart #RipMugabepic.twitter.com/U7Duh2e9P9
