Robert Mugabe... could have been a legend for post colonial Africa but... what can you say...
From what I heard he wasn't too bad while his wife was alive, she died a couple of decades ago and he has been a complete horror since.
That said, the massacre years ago in Bulawayo was shocking, but the real idiocy was when there was all of that invading of land by supposed veterans of the war for democratic rule, a lot of these characters were too young to be part of the war in the 1970s. There was clearly a need to redistribute land, but then you do it violently and allocate the land to your mates then you are doing the same as the original dispossession.
Yep, Mugabe could have been good, but he turned out to be a dictator.
