Introduction
Robert Gabriel Mugabe, born on February 21, 1924, played a prominent role in
Zimbabwe's history. He led the nation as its prime minister from 1980 to 1987
and then as its president from 1987 until his resignation in November 2017.
Mugabe passed away on September 6, 2019. His early life in Southern Rhodesia
(now Zimbabwe) and his subsequent leadership marked a complex legacy,
encompassing his significant contributions to the nation's fight for independence
and the controversies surrounding his extended rule.
Early life and
Activism.
Robert’s early life was marked by a strong academic background, including teaching
and pursuing higher education. In the 1960s, he became deeply involved in anti-colonial
and independence movements, notably as a leader of the Zimbabwe African National
Union (ZANU). His activism and efforts in the armed struggle against colonial rule
were instrumental in the eventual achievement of Zimbabwean independence in 1980,
making him a key figure in the nation's history.
“Stay with us, please remain in this
country and constitute a nation
based on national unity.”
