Former Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe's death has sent shockwaves across the nation, with tributes pouring in from around the world.

His last born child, Bellarmine Chatunga Mugabe, is yet to come to terms with the loss, sharing an emotional post on social media that read, 'I just wanna die.'

Chatunga, in his early twenties, had earlier shared a photo of his mother, Grace, and father, captioning it with a love heart.

Friends and family have condoled with the Mugabe family, with messages of condolence pouring in.

As Zimbabweans mourn the loss of their former leader, a quote from Mugabe's past still resonates: 'We have fought for our land, we have fought for our sovereignty, small as we are we have won our independence and we are prepared to shed our blood … So, Blair keep your England, and let me keep my Zimbabwe.'
