Today's Video Focus: In Zimbabwe, a row has erupted between the government and the family of
Robert Mugabe over when the former leader will be buried. The family
have agreed to a government plan to give him a state funeral and bury
him at a monument to national heroes in the capital Harare, but that
could take weeks to happen. Mugabe is seen by many in Africa as a hero
of the war against white rule in the 1970s. In the west, he's widely
regarded as a tyrant for his violent campaign to seize white farms after
1998. But in Matabeleland, he is remembered for massacres of the Ndbele
people, who supported his political rival in the 1980s. We went to
Matopo, where some of the worst atrocities took place.
