Mugabe had been battling ill-health, and President Emmerson Mnangagwa told a Cabinet meeting two weeks ago that doctors had discontinued treatment.

Mugabe, was ousted from power in a military coup in November 2017 and was being treated in Singapore since April.

In November last year, Mnangagwa announced that the former President is unable to walk because of ill health and old age.
