He is.. you whites took away what we have and got brainwashed by left and right media calling other countries terrorist for not handing our resource like you did to Afghan and iraq. When we say no, we mean it. Yet your dumb leaders went out of their way to cause a scene then blames them. We blacks aren't your allies anymore.
Look at the BBC and Channel 4 news stumbling over themselfs to try and improve the image of Mugabe. The kind of soft language and terms they use would never fly for anyone else.
At last the world is one more corrupt dictator less. He did one thing very good. He ran the once "Breadbasket of Africa" Rhodesia into the ground and now thousands are suffering from hunger poverty and civil war. Good one Mc AAP. South Africa slowly but surely following the same path.
What a despicable human being. Sadly enough, this seems to be a typical African story: Hero turned president turned dictator, all hope and potential squandered by grotesque ineptness and a weirdly childish outlook on the world.
The biggest problem Africa is corruption. While there are perfectly legitimate complaints and anger about what colonialism did, especially what the Belgians did in the Congo, colonialism Is over and gone, and Africans should look to the future and not the past. Solving the corruption problem is essential if Africa is ever to lift itself up from poverty. One example is the mineral rich Congo which should be one of the wealthiest nations on Earth but instead is one of the poorest due to the appalling corruption of its leaders. Another indictment of African leaders is that although Mugabe was responsible for thousands of deaths in Matabele land in the early 80s - maybe as many as twenty thousand - he was by no means the worst African leader. We should all remember Idi Amin of Uganda who was responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths, and Amin was only one of many leaders on the continent responsible for crimes against their people.
Magabi was rapped under the colonial rule when he was a liberation leader fighting for his countries freedoms from western rule over his people in the whole region not just rhodisha/Zimbabwe
I like how they saying that the british "gave up" in the 1980's, it was in the late 50's that Britain wanted to give independence to Zimbabwe, but it was the white minority under Ian lee that refused to give majority rule, so Britain refused to give Zimbabwe back until black majority rule
An unconquered steel warrior? From what I've seen he was a Marxist radical who ruined the economy, destroyed the farming industry and killed his political opponents ( not to mention thousands of innocents). I feel sorry for the Zimbabwean people
Oh please. The farms were ruined. The money devalued. I really don't understand this unwaivering defence of tyrants like this. I can only assume it's anti-white racism. Well don't worry Britain will keep sending aid to this failing nation (£49 million this year) to help the starving poor. Thanks Mugabe. Good job
One day the truth will be told, can a black man get justice in a racial society? This man was giving back the land has been stolen and rhey hate him for that so rhey blacklist him they will never said that but ONE DAY the will be told in a balance way he wasn't perfect

@Magpie I will still prefer him to this murderers Tony Blair and Bush.. At least Mugabe didn't invade other countries with fake evidence and kill innocent civilians.. Maybe you haven't watched the apology of Tony Blair.. He is worse than the Devil.Mugabe didn't want the west to have control over his country resources....
Still the point is Blair and Bush did not steal from and destroy their own countries and leave their people without decent services , hence people still flock to their countries for a better life.
No, he isn't. The U.K. and the U.S. are multicultural nations which many people flock to. I can't say the same about Zimbabwe. It was destroyed by the dictator from within.
A damn shame what he ordered to happen to, not only his own innocent Zimbabweans, but the white farmers who actually boosted the country and employed many black Zimbabweans. Hopefully South Africa does not go the same way, but it's looking bleak for both countries in 2019 and onwards. We must all learn to live in harmony and continue to fight against all forms of hatred.

“Liberator and hero” HA
He is.. you whites took away what we have and got brainwashed by left and right media calling other countries terrorist for not handing our resource like you did to Afghan and iraq. When we say no, we mean it. Yet your dumb leaders went out of their way to cause a scene then blames them. We blacks aren't your allies anymore.
@@FragmenterX1 no he's not
Self-serving narcissist to the N-th degree. Admired by those who wished they could steal as much as he did from a nation and still get away with it.
This sounds very propaganda-ish.
Lebogang Manthoadi except it was all true....
Know that all are one, and only a lasting structure will benefit humanity.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Robert destroyed Cecil Rhode's dream.
Rest in peace, sir.
Rhodesia was such a pristine modern and a beautiful country. Mugabe for me was simply a typical African leader.
the country is destroyed
Two words. Ian Smith. Look him up and listen to what he said
Revolution
Look at the BBC and Channel 4 news stumbling over themselfs to try and improve the image of Mugabe. The kind of soft language and terms they use would never fly for anyone else.
Shame he died. I hear dianne Abbott and David lammy we’re preparing to nominate him to take over corbyn as well 🤪
He didn't turn bad, he was ALWAYS the evil villain from the very beginning. He destroyed Rhodesia and turned it in to the trashcan that is Zimbabwe.
Mhata yako iwe
Being on top must feel so great you'd do anything to stay there
unbalanced reporting. HE IS A TRUE PANAFRICANIST. HE GAVE US OUR LAND.
Then why the food shortages? Why overthrow farmers who can farm and give the land to people who can't? Surely that hurts everyone.
At last the world is one more corrupt dictator less. He did one thing very good. He ran the once "Breadbasket of Africa" Rhodesia into the ground and now thousands are suffering from hunger poverty and civil war. Good one Mc AAP. South Africa slowly but surely following the same path.
We loved him no one should tell us how to celebrate our leaders not white or pink we wish more Mugabe in Africa God bless Malela

The same fate will befall Museveni too. We are patiently waiting
I hope society learns from this, things can become much worse than what you had before if you want radical political change.
What a despicable human being. Sadly enough, this seems to be a typical African story: Hero turned president turned dictator, all hope and potential squandered by grotesque ineptness and a weirdly childish outlook on the world.
He will always be a HERO too millions of black people all around the world fact
He passed away in Singapore? I did not realize he had fled his country.
The biggest problem Africa is corruption. While there are perfectly legitimate complaints and anger about what colonialism did, especially what the Belgians did in the Congo, colonialism Is over and gone, and Africans should look to the future and not the past. Solving the corruption problem is essential if Africa is ever to lift itself up from poverty. One example is the mineral rich Congo which should be one of the wealthiest nations on Earth but instead is one of the poorest due to the appalling corruption of its leaders.
Another indictment of African leaders is that although Mugabe was responsible for thousands of deaths in Matabele land in the early 80s - maybe as many as twenty thousand - he was by no means the worst African leader. We should all remember Idi Amin of Uganda who was responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths, and Amin was only one of many leaders on the continent responsible for crimes against their people.
We must do something soon to remove this current government
Magabi was rapped under the colonial rule when he was a liberation leader fighting for his countries freedoms from western rule over his people in the whole region not just rhodisha/Zimbabwe
No one lives forever- even dictators - S
Hasa Diga Eebowai!
I like how they saying that the british "gave up" in the 1980's, it was in the late 50's that Britain wanted to give independence to Zimbabwe, but it was the white minority under Ian lee that refused to give majority rule, so Britain refused to give Zimbabwe back until black majority rule
the great betrayal .... read it. The Brits sold out the Rhodesians
Mugabe was an unconquered steel warrior. It doesn't matter what channel four say. History already absorbed him
An unconquered steel warrior? From what I've seen he was a Marxist radical who ruined the economy, destroyed the farming industry and killed his political opponents ( not to mention thousands of innocents). I feel sorry for the Zimbabwean people
@@Jools1478 economy was ruined by sanctions and embargo via export route to Maputo.
Devilish work by the the British and US government
Oh please. The farms were ruined. The money devalued. I really don't understand this unwaivering defence of tyrants like this. I can only assume it's anti-white racism. Well don't worry Britain will keep sending aid to this failing nation (£49 million this year) to help the starving poor. Thanks Mugabe. Good job
You are a psychiatric patient
4:55 they had him on the run 🏃🏾♂️.
One day the truth will be told, can a black man get justice in a racial society? This man was giving back the land has been stolen and rhey hate him for that so rhey blacklist him they will never said that but ONE DAY the will be told in a balance way he wasn't perfect
You'd swear they were talking about a saint!
Of course at the pristine pace of the worldwide market may your business of leaders believe in your people. I pray for your blessings. May you be the leading voice of progressing past the past. May you not be the leaders that lead in the actions of elsewhere. May you be leaders that lead in your own actions.
But he had a great English accent
That doesn't have anything to do with the leadership
Another damn fool gone. Now he is reconciled with the earth, his legacy forever destroyed by his tyranny.
hero to tryant
Africa's Saddam
Compare him to Tony Blair and George Bush..... He is better
@Magpie I will still prefer him to this murderers Tony Blair and Bush.. At least Mugabe didn't invade other countries with fake evidence and kill innocent civilians..
Maybe you haven't watched the apology of Tony Blair.. He is worse than the Devil.Mugabe didn't want the west to have control over his country resources....
Magpie today World facing lot of defense problems because tony and bush’s foolish decision
Still the point is Blair and Bush did not steal from and destroy their own countries and leave their people without decent services , hence people still flock to their countries for a better life.
Not even close
No, he isn't. The U.K. and the U.S. are multicultural nations which many people flock to. I can't say the same about Zimbabwe. It was destroyed by the dictator from within.
A damn shame what he ordered to happen to, not only his own innocent Zimbabweans, but the white farmers who actually boosted the country and employed many black Zimbabweans. Hopefully South Africa does not go the same way, but it's looking bleak for both countries in 2019 and onwards. We must all learn to live in harmony and continue to fight against all forms of hatred.
Hedylogos Two words Africa African
He was a great great great fake
So what I get is that he’s a Democrat.
Good riddance to bad rubbish
