Firstly, he constantly won through fear tactics and election fraud, and that's anything but "democratic". For example, in the early 2000 elections Mugabe placed extra polling stations in rural areas where he would win support knowing that it was against the rules and would undermine his opposition.
Zimbabwe use to be one of the most advanced economic country and housed the most educated in Africa. And now it's garbage b/c of his failed economic policies (i.e. failed land reforms that hindered agricultural production, which in turn severely hurt their economy), massive unemployment, literacy for men and women is extremely low, low life expectancy, high infant mortality rate, high HIV, etc. Instead of stepping down he’s trying to cling onto power like the dictator he is.
Secondly, I was not talking about the European colonizers that ruled Zimbabwe, I was specifically talking about Mugabe. Mugabe was a freedom fighter, and was good at mobilizing his people, and exiling Whites out of ZImbabewe. That I never denied or took away from him. However, what is he now? He’s a product of colonialism; corruption and power obsession. Funnily enough, Mugabe is European educated, and most of African dictators are. Hmm I wonder if there’s any connection there? Wink wink, nudge nudge.
Nice way to shove down words into my mouth for daps and reps. You guys are only calling him a “great leader” because he exiled Whites, something you delusional Coli militants have orgasms to. Zimbabwe went from the most thriving country to a total wasteland with high inflation, low unemployment, poverty, etc.
If he’s such a great leader and a great man, why don’t you pack your bags and head over there? I showed my Zimbabwean friend this thread at work and he had a good laugh.
