Robert mugabe zimbabwes founding leader some saw him as a liberator a tyrant so what legacy does he leave and how was involved from his shadow this is inside story. Welcome to the program. Robert mugabe was a divisive figure white until he died on friday at the age of 95 he was hailed a hero of zimbabwes independence from britain but turbulent 37 years as president of the mitra depose him into a 1017. 00 African Leaders are paying tribute to as an icon of liberation but his critics say hes. Left zimbabwe rowans Hoda Abdelhamid takes a look back at mugabes life. 965 and mrs white settlers declare independence from britain an event that defined Robert Mugabes life and still holds his country the black majority resisted races through in the cities and out in the countryside where a vicious bush war raged for years. Robert mugabe a teacher turned activist emerged from prison as an articulate leader of the independence struggle we started the war in order to give our country and we havent got our country they did get their country at lancaster house in london in 1979. And when zimbabwe celebrated independence mugabe the overwhelming winner of elections was in power. And soon showing the rival liberation fighters what hed do to keep it might the belly land in the early eightys the opposition crushed thousands killed in ethnic massacres atrocities that were barely noticed abroad but there was also much to admire racial reconciliation education and health for millions of zimbabweans of the late economy declined and invasions of white farms in the year 2000 were turning point this time the world did notice. It was accounted destructive process but mugabe said he was correcting an old injustice and in many ways still fighting the old colonial power the land is ours we give it to whom we please its not the business of britain you see to tell us who to give land they do not. Buy now opposition was growing despite murder and many many zimbabwe seemed ready to throw mugabe out they had a new hero morgan chang right who said Robert Mugabes early achievements will always be overshadowed by the years of oppression. Do we put as the great liberator or do we put somebody who has betrayed the liberation that the food too. I think the latter will prevail the 2 rivals ended up in government together although mugabe made sure he kept the real power and shank you violate to return to a position where he would eventually die he isnt as part hes a dictator hes a tyrant hes any word you want to threaten but its something more than that he says hes the wrong messenger with the right message. By now his wife grace 41 years his junior had emerged as a political player who gabi well into his ninetys seem determined to go on and on. In the citys anger boiled over a new generation demanded mugabe go its time for you to resign its time for you to step down. In the end it was the army that pushed him where he did point grace as his successor a former colleague and then lee rival of greeces emerson women took over it was more palace couldnt revolution although the joy mirrored that of zimbabwes original revolution 37 years earlier mugabe retreated to his mansion bitter to the last probably. The real tragedy Robert Mugabe could never bear da da of his country enjoying a 2nd freedom from his room. Lets bring in. In harare Patrick Chinamasa a ruling zano party member Robert Mugabes finance minister in london. The former chief advisor to the former zimbabwean Prime MinisterOpposition LeaderMorgan Tsvangirai and in johannesburg david moore professor of Development Studies of the university of georgia spoke welcome to all patrick the mixed reactions following the death of mr mugabe from a liberated tyrant. Does that in a way or another sum up his legacy well. In the group or zimbabweans are going to be in deep mourning over the past. Or. With our leader in pollution or. Who championed the armed destructo which give us our free dorm our human rights. Our dignity youll be one of the good so fuck you come along side some are coming guma julius nearer our guts to monitor Kenneth Kaunda youre so mandela you will be even pollution ari i can not just african i can but also internationally each time you and you because of your praise the people everywhere. You was very principled you were strong. Why not if you lead us in course coralie africa will take an exam on koran your masters and i learned to give it back to the right who people you want i mean flinching. In that little ok you lived a huge legacy for empowerment or for people in the early off age you creation zimbabweans are now legged value in terms of Literacy Rate in also in terms of development this is why you find you can dublins all over the world because of the asking it seems you also. Will fight the good is that shipment was giving land back to you well talk while he tells about those out there you did being different issues alex. Morgan tsvangirai who was the main Opposition Leader in zimbabwe once said that if we were to make any assessment about the legacy of. The between a Freedom Fighter or someone who had deserved the winds given to him by his own people the latter would prevail. Well i think 1st of all you know condolences of course to the family of former prison with gabby. I have listened to a tear for many such an m. S. A. Sayed there is no doubt that mr mugabe played an Important Role in the oppression of zimbabwe and had many important words to say about africa and he was indeed an icon in that regard however as i pointed out at the time there are also aspects of mr mugabes leadership we chair were very disagreeable we should very horrible and i think that its important to understand that even at this particular point in time while we have to respect the family of mr mugabe its also important to be honest and truthful about the challenges that zimbabwe has faced as in biographies about his leadership. Was part of a group of people in his own a peer of who led to the ouster of president Robert Mugabe in 2017 i dont think that it is fair to whitewash that if you sort of our history if anything the demise of former president Robert Mugabe began that november 27th when they took power from him through unconstitutional means. I mean when we go back and look at the highlights of the legacy of mugabe many people would tell you that ok he was a Freedom Fighter for the independence of his own country but those credentials were completely overshadowed by the blunders by the mistakes that he made over many many years impala. I dont agree with that cheery proposition what i think people should be more about mugabe is that you are very angry that we are in african opposition zimbabwean opposition. By former colonial masters degree to suit their wealth municipal own dition funded luncheon in establishment or you are very very angry that is him but when how could he but when to be drilled that one legacy how good is it but will tell you that one country by accepting silver in order to oppose the land question you are very angry over that issue so the issue that raised about the events of 2017 we are not to pick things we are all of our shortcomings but mugabes shortcomings curl into insignificance when compared with these achievements not just in zimbabwe but internationally and one shortcoming that i could or not do is that you lived in the front fish and you should call it for him to assume all because of my bunk. This gala things we are getting out of control into a clique of individuals that are wanted. While in order to advantage that one person no interest which it is nothing to do with your countrys National Interests ok that is what led to the event of 2000 in 17 lets go to im not you dont tug on demagoguery it was discovered that change was now inevitable ok lets go to david moore in johannesburg david it was quite interesting their reactions we got from African Leaders basically describing. Their as and i. Khan of the pan african Pro Independence movement but when it comes to the west the main sentiment was basically this was a tyrant who abused his power for many decades which led always drove the country to the brink of collapse right well statesmen and diplomats protect each other generally. And i think thats been the case often times if you speak to diplomats behind closed doors and off the record they say quite Different Things and they certainly have had in the past but Robert Mugabe has been able to marshal the ideology of sovereignty and pan african ism. To put them on their back feet usually except of course in 2008 when
