Sad you never got to hear the song you 'begged' for – Blakk Rasta

Reggae Artiste, Blakk Rasta is among musicians around the world mourning the death of former President of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe who died on Friday morning.

Blakk Rasta who once performed for Mugabe, revealed to MyNewsGh.com that he released a song few days ago in honour of the African hero but is sad he never got to listen to it.

“R.I.P. Robert Mugabe… Legendary African Leader… Sad you never got to hear the song you “begged” me to do for you”

Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe’s first post-independence leader, has died aged 95.

He died after battling ill health, his family confirmed to the BBC. Mr Mugabe had been in hospital in Singapore since April.

He was ousted in a military coup in November 2017, ending three decades in power.

He won Zimbabwe’s first election after independence, becoming prime minister in 1980. He abolished the office in 1987, becoming president instead.

Mugabe’s early years were praised for broadening access to health and education for the black majority. But his controversial land reform programme sparked an economic collapse and his latter years were marked by rights abuses and corruption.
