What you need to know:
President Emmerson Mnangagwa declared a period of "national mourning" on Friday, without providing further detail.
The government is expected to announce when Mugabe's body will be returned to Zimbabwe and provide details of the funeral in coming days.
Once praised as a liberator who rid Zimbabwe of white minority rule, Mugabe soon turned to repression and fear to govern.
