Journalist reflects on friendship with Mugabe
Wilf Mbanga, a Zimbabwean journalist, told us about his friendship with Robert Mugabe.
We're exploring the life and legacy of Robert Mugabe, founding leader of an independent Zimbabwe, who's died at the age of 95. African leaders hailed his appearance on the continental stage in 1980.
We hear views from up close and voices from further afield.
We also hear from a former friend of Mr Mugabe's who fell out with him and had to leave the country.
