Robert Mugabe was, in the 1980s, a towering figure in the African fight against colonialism and white domination.

In Zimbabwe, where Mugabe ruled for 37 years, an older generation remembers how he brought education and health after decades of neglect by Ian Smith's white minority regime.

Young Zimbabweans, Kuda Manjonjo and Patience Phiri, discuss the president they grew up with.
