President Uhuru Kenyatta yesterday eulogised former Zimbabwean leader Robert Mugabe as an icon of the continent's liberation struggle and an elder statesman who relentlessly championed for Africa's dignity.

The President said the father of independent Zimbabwe will be remembered for his contribution to the liberation of many African nations which benefitted from his support in the 80s and 90s.
