So Mugabe's ZANLA guerrillas were supposed to stay in assembly points but many were still opperating as usual, and were complaining because the Auxillaries were responding with sweeps to curb their actions in areas where they shouldn't even be.

Thus far nothing beats the interview Pres R Mugabe gave just before the election, where he was asked if he believe in democracy then should accept that the Bishop can win the election. Pres Mugabe's response was both empathic and candid as he said "if Bishop were to win, then the Devil can win the election in Heaven", I have never heard of anything before or since

[@politedube55]

Mzorewa was much better than 43 years doing nothing

I think the fear in the UK at the time was that this would become a quagmire for Britain. As it happened, I think there was a lot of relief that the British Army could get out quickly and abandon the people of Zimbabwe to their fate.

Whatever good intentions Mugabe might have had at the beginning of his rule in Zimbabwe (and trying to be fair - which isn't easy - he did have some good things going on in the beginning, but those quickly faded), in the end he let everyone down - he let them down bad.

[@nolavout5369]

Completely agree

[@kaypakaipa8559]

he did have good intentions, and he did let us all down. My question is was he acting good all that time though. like Hitler almost in the early years. He seemed to have so much hatred in his speeches after the 90s, almost like he waited for the right time.

[@jimmycricket5366]

@@kaypakaipa8559 Correct...I believe the demons in the man were suppressed in the early years because there was little pressure on him, but the evil (which was there all along) exposed itself when the political pressure increased to the point that he felt threatened.

[@jeremiahblake3949]

I don't think he ever had different intentions than the ones he had in the end. However at least in the beginning he had patience.

[@KorpusV6]

@@jimmycricket5366 He changed after losing his wife Sally in 1992. She was his anchor and rock. Grace then turned him into a erratic tyrant. As for Gukurahundi, we have to understand that many of the people in ZANU and government in the 80s had fought a brutal war for nearly 15 years. Gukurahundi was a tragedy caused by traumatized war veterans getting paranoid. As much as Mugabe was leader, he didn't have complete control until he became executive president in 1987.

Muzorewa had backers in South Africa providing him with a jet, his rallies were policed by white police and white people brought their workers to his rallies while his auxiliary forces were led by a British mercenary. Surely, whose side was he on? Whose interests were he advancing? I have often heard that he was a puppet, however this is the first smoking gun that I have seen for myself, not zanu or zapu propaganda…

Under Robert Mugabe’s rule, I, as a black farmer, lost my land to a corrupt system that rewarded his cronies while destroying hardworking families and livelihoods. What should have been a step toward equality turned into chaos, where those who supported Mugabe acted with aggression and disregard for humanity. Educated and skilled farmers were driven away, leaving the country’s economy in ruins and its people betrayed by a dictator’s greed.
