Thousands of mourners filed solemnly into a Harare stadium on Friday to pay their respects to former Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe, who died last week at the age of 95, two years after his iron-fisted rule came to an end. Mugabe's family says his funeral will be held, in accordance with the government’s wishes, in Harare’s Heroes’ Acre cemetery, to be followed by a private burial. VOA’s Anita Powell files from Harare.
