'Mugabe had a fanatical side to him' - Lord Hain

Lord Peter Hain has told the BBC how he fell foul of Robert Mugabe when he was a minister in 1999.

Mr Mugabe, who was Zimbabwe's first prime minister after independence from the UK in 1980, has died aged 95.

Kenya-born Lord Hain, who grew up in apartheid South Africa, described the African leader as deeply homophobic and that he had a "fanatical side to him."
