Reading Time: < 1 minute

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has called for the return of the death penalty in the country.

Capital punishment is on the Statute Book in Zimbabwe, but no-one has been executed since 2005 when the country’s hangman retired.

Mugabe wants it to be implemented again for certain offenders such as those convicted of murder and raping minors.

Mugabe say Zimbabwe has fought for peace and joy, however, senseless killing continue to happen.
