Not Mandela, not anyone else but Robert Mugabe. If I was a young Zimbabwean I would lead a voluntary young people's movement to shore up domestic support for this true modern African hero.

Having independence is nothing without economic freedoms. This is the one African leader who has bought a giant dildo for the cabbal of resource-hungry opportunistic and parasitic group of Western institutions led by UK and told them to go fock themsel.

Nothing made me snarl more than hearing a white British accent in Africa and Mugabe is on the cusp of heralding a new modus operandi with the burgeoning success of land distribution and neo-colonial shucking off he undertook in Zimbabwe to cost of sanctions, libel, and political targetting.

Zimbabwe is about to show South Africa what happens when courageous steps are under taken (they always say South Africa is Zimbabwe in 1999) and is also starting a new understanding for Africa's young: don't play in THEIR system, develop your people at all cost and then challenge them.

Any reason why African leaders and organizations are falling over themselves to protect Mugabe's reelection while Western foreign offices act like old dinosaurs and show no understanding of Africa's streets.

I predict this man will be considered Africa's necessary economic crusader as early as by the end of this decade.

Mugabe, as a pan-Africanist, you are my hero old man.

Sanctions were taking hits, credit was closed to Zimbabwe, it was a pariah, and the economy was in free fall in 2008.

Since then, Zimbabwe introduced the US dollar to stablize hyper inflation, it's land distribution which was declared faikure and racist by UK in 2008 is now a roaring success and the land is producing again after transition phase, it's people are finding work again, and a lot of investment and political space was provided by southern African countries SADC.

2008 was Zimbabwe's worst time

2013 is the beginning of Zimbabwe's rise and Mugabe and pan-Africanism's vindication

Yeah he'll die before that happens, everyone in the world will die before that happens, the world will end before that happens, hell will freeze over by then. Pigs will fly by then even though they won't exist by the type it happens.

'Why a Robert Mugabe victory would be good for Zimbabwe'

I heard der a white guy called Ian smith he owns 75percent of all farms n bantus r his slaves lol poor africans

Zimbabwe has regained her soul under Mugabe . South Africa remains a racist anti-black reality with a beautiful constitution where blacks suffer humiliation every day.

Zimbabwe under the leadership of Mugabe and Zanu-PF has now resolved the land question. In other words, they have returned land to Zimbabweans. Before the 2000 land occupation movement, only about 6 000 white settlers owned about 80 percent of the land. They controlled and dominated the agricultural economy.

Today, the picture is totally different, 245 000 blacks now own most of the land; add their families and the number is likely to be millions of beneficiaries. This is contrary to the lie that only Mugabe’s cronies received land. New evidence shows that those associated directly with the ruling party occupy less than 10 percent of the redistributed land.

Contrast that with South Africa where about 50 000 white families and trusts own more than 80 percent of the land.

i greatly admire this man,
if other leaders had half the balls of this man and his intelligence africa would move forward.
neo-liberalism is slavery, slavery to the financiers.
i dont know why he chose the dollar to stabalize the currency, allot of other countries did it, it was fast and effective shortterm
but it puts you in a straight jacket, and you miss out on allot of the options you would have like, sovereign currency creation.
If the west keeps comparing him to hitler, then he should have looked into hitlers economic policies.
Hitler faced exactly the same situation mugabe did in 1933, unofficial sanctions from western bankers,
were strangling the economy.
when he took out the proveribial giant dildo and told them fuk off,
germany experienced amazing growth between 1933 and 1939.
by 1937 they had full employment or 1% unemployment, while 4 years earlier they had over 40%

What did hitler do differently? Wasn't Germany just a war economy on steroids by then?

baseless propaganda, also contradictory,
they make fun of the nazis for not going into a war economy till 1942,
till 1942 it was normal living for civilians, while the UK, and everyone else started earlier.
The other lie was that the german economies performance was funded by looting conquered countries.
this may be true but the main period for the boom was between 1933 and 1937 before any war and before re-armament took off

Well, my opinions on Mugabe is mixed. In a way I am tempted to be 'interested' on how things will turn out for him given that he has chosen to fight with goliath. (the west) The fact that he is taking land from the whites and giving it to native blacks has my vote. But also I am not sure whether that is practical, given the collapse of the country's currency. But then again--which African currency has not collapse? Whether they are allies of the west or not. So, In a way I am thinking at least Mugabe is standing up for something-- and that should be applauded.

Who knows-- this Gods will, maybe Mugabe should set a trend for the entire Africa continent on how to be independently economic. (Without the condescending "AIDE" of the west)




PS: Gurey--I think the Germans are always superior in Economics. Whether through wars on steroids or not. Look at today, a proof of their stamina. They literally fund the entire Europe--including--shocker-- the UK. I truly believe the Germans are the 'nasaab' of Europe. I think God has imbued them with brain power and will to work. Heck, even the UK Royals is made up of Germans a further proof of their purity of nasaabniimo.

I have been to Zimbabwe and other countries in that region. I have insights and figures to disagree with the notion that Mugaabe is a hero. I am also a panafricanist.

Mugaabe is a dictator. He had 30+ years to do something for the peasants but did nothing. It was when he realised that he was losing power that he instructed thugs to beat white farmers.

There is no quantitative data that supports the thesis that he is a hero. The economy is hitting rock bottom; standard of living is decreasing, life expectancy is falling .

He is just like any other dictator in Africa; behaves likes a young lad out on a date (they have young wives), uses rhetorics on the horrible legacies of colonialism and clings onto power by all means.

I had a short visit to Harare as well last month. Consensus seems to be that things aren't as bad as they were in the last decade, but obviously still has problems. Country has massive unemployment( biggest in region I believe) and election was rigged. Most people in Harare support MDC, the base of Zanu PF is in the rural areas and I really don't think anyones really super enthusiastic about them anymore. Note that there have been no celebrations after the victory is announced, something that is rare in African elections. I also think the decision to use the American dollar as currency was an MDC one as they controlled the Finance Ministry although I could be wrong. There have also been improvements in education as well another portfolio the MDC controlled in the unity government.

That being said Tsvangari(sp?) screwed up big time in even bothering to contest elections that were clearly going to be fixed. He's finished now politically and whenever Mugabe dies, the defense minister and other ZANU-PF elite will take over. It's a shame though because that country has tons of potential, from having a relatively well educated urban base to a wealth of natural resources and fertile land.

Robert Mugabe kulaha nigga please



In my opinion it was General Mohamed Farah Caydiid
