Stampede mars mourning for Robert Mugabe

Controversy over where and when Robert Mugabe will be buried, and a stampede which injured several people trying to view his body, marred the mourning for the Zimbabwean leader today.

A crowd insisting on seeing Mr Mugabe’s face in the partially opened coffin surged past a police cordon, causing a crush in which several were injured at Rufaro Stadium in the capital’s poor Mbare neighbourhood where thousands had gone to see his body.
