Having been educated in Dubai, South Africa and Singapore, Tino was exposed to various facets of religion and from his eclectic understanding, says “the people that created these religions, of course, did it for the betterment of humanity, but you then realise that they did what they thought was best for them”.
Risking drawing controversy, like late British pop star John Lennon, Tino added: “All of them [are questionable]. They try to of course help stir people towards the best path. But if one religion was the best path, then everyone would be following one religion,” he said.
Turning back to his dad, he said that as a family, they knew for more than 10 years that he was not feeling well.
“My dad was sick for a long time – over 10 years. It was a matter of time. So, for those 10 plus years, we knew as a family that dad was sick and [at] any time the doctor can tell us he has a couple of days or months to live. But that day never came. So I guess within those 10 plus years, a lot was going on, emotional rollercoasters, so we spent as much time with him,” he said.
In his last days in 2019, Mugabe went to Singapore for treatment and that was where Tino was based at the time.
“He also came to Singapore for his treatment and that’s when he stayed a couple of months. But those five to six months when he was there, that’s when he was most ill. He wasn’t coming out of bed, he wasn’t walking and he didn’t want to eat. He was sick to the point [where] he was in a wheelchair.
“My mom would bath him and I would, at times, come help. It’s a lot seeing someone who used to take care of you at a point where they can’t take care of themselves. It’s painful,” Tino said.
He added that he wanted to make his father proud by taking care of the family, and was doing just that.- News24
