Or “you either die a hero, or you reposes land and destroy your countries economy whilst systematically killing groups of people with the help of the NKPR army”
As a Zimbabwean I remember Mugabe for genocide, unemployment, hunger, violence, election rigging, corruption, cholera, Murambatsvina demolitions, potholes, roadblocks, poor service delivery, hyperinflation, abductions and murders.....
When you are truthful and standing for the truth - the devil's agenda is to put forth battles against you, for people to notice your weakness. It takes only LIONS to win over it. Mugabe was not an ordinary man like you and others, he is a hero.
Most definitely! I'm not a hateful person, but I believe that his body should've been tortured. He's pretty fortunate for that. At some point, I wouldn't be surprised if his corpse does get dug up and tortured. Look what happened to Hitler and Mussolini. I'm sorry, but I agree if that white woman, he's the wrong messenger if the right message. It's not just because I'm white, either. He tried to kill off the Ndebele people, and even a Congolese guy told me he didn't like him. I said it was okay, if he liked him, too. His anger lead him to his tyranny, despite at one time being a revered freedom fighter. I'm kind of shocked he was so respected once he died.
Not one man, one racist country: Britain. You don’t criticise the man who freed the indigenous people, the REAL Zimbabweans, and then forget about what your white people did.
The country Zimabwe has never ever been sanctioned. That is a lie from individual Zanu-PF criminal politicians who are sanctioned in their personal capacity from coming to the West or having bank accounts there. Those Zimbabwean politicians are very un-happy they they can't go and squander the loot they have stolen on Western countries luxuries. So they have to go to Asia where they are not so comfortable and not so welcome.
Hero turned villain. It happens a lot - just look at history. All the best to Zimbabwe on recovering from his rule and striding into the future . SO, much potential in this country - HUGE!!
What’s scary about it all is that he’s lived in a Parliament built by a Rhodesian regime and died in a foreign country receiving medical care using Rhodesian capital. Zimbabwe has never build anything for that country, all of the infrastructure that exist is all from Rhodesian times, the towns, the schools, the hospitals, the parliament, the train stations etc. Even then they have failed to service any of it. He sold all the locomotive trains when coal is mined in Zimbabwe and the country ran out fuel in the 90s to run the diesel locomotives and the country came to a stand still. The whole 37 years has been a joke. He didn’t liberate Zimbabwe by himself, where is the recognition for all the heroic people that actually fought for it. I’m surprised they allowed him to conduct his leadership in that manner to be honest.
Sky-view Rhodesia was paradise for the handful minority colonisers, not the majority black population. What Rhodesian capital? Zimbabwe was still paying Rhodesia UDI debt after independence. Get your facts right. UDI war had been funded by IMF and world bank and the debt was never paid off by the Rhodesians. Most infrastructure enjoyed by Zimbabwe was built after independence. You talk as if there was no segregation in Rhodesia. Who enjoyed those facilities during the colonial regime, certainly not the blacks, who were forced to provide cheap labour to pay all manner of ridiculous taxes that enabled the oppressive regime to build whatever infrastructure. Did blacks go to schools built by colonial oppressors? Why is it that malnutrition levels (1976 -1979) were high among the black population if access to services was equal to what the white supremacists enjoyed. Blacks were forced out of their land onto reserves which were dry and arid. White farmers curved out the best lands for themselves. Fact is Mugabe did a lot in advancement of Zimbabweans in education and housing. Yes, things collapsed after the sanctions which were imposed on Zimbabwe after he forcefully grabbed land. He was not perfect, but to most Zimbabweans, he is a hero.

@@urbanaafricana I was comenting on Okello's post comparing ZImbabwe to them.U can not tell me they do not have a better life than in Zimbabwe. Social welfare and medical care in US and Australia, nada in Zimbabwe. They do not have to flee to other countries and work for peanuts to survive. Their kids have basically free education. In Zimbabwe a $100 a month would be bliss for the average person. I am not saying their plight is to be disregarded, but the indians and aboriginals at least have education and oportunities. Last time I heard they were not banned from finding work and uplifting themselves. In Zimbabwe there is NO work fullstop. As for the Indians the tribes were murdering each other long before white people.
when colonial masters impose sanctions on a country because they got back their lands and then judge the era of a great leader based on the consequences of the trade and economic sanction. that is just not a level playing field for conclusions
According to me President Mugabe was African hero. He brought back the stolen land and made Zimbabwean the most educated in Africa continent. The issue of economic hardship was engineered by the West to adulterated Mugabe's achievements in Zimbabwe and Africa at large.
As much as you are entitled to your opinion from reading your contribution I feel that opinion has been influenced by misinformation. Mugabe said he was taking land from the colonisers as he claimed that he could not allow them a minority to have the lion's share of the land at the expense of suffering Africans. Surprisingly the ordinary African man never benefited from this exercise only government officials and a few relatives including the Chinese benefited.
brought back the stolen land to kill his own people on it. Imagine taking something back and now the situation is worse than it was when it wasn't in your hands. That says a lot....no further proof needed. The 4% of whites could farm and feed the whole country......once they took the farms back.....famine? How does that work? How do black people starve more under black rule than under white racists?
How Robert Mugabe is seen , depends on who writes the story , West or Africans . That's why it's important that Africans are instrumental in writing their own stories ,
@@solideogloria9320 If you believe that then you're just another typical Western soup drinker . Was it not the West who said that Black people had no culture ; that the Ife Bronze masks , Benin Bronze mask and arts , were made by Europeans . Facts right , Duh, lol
Not everyone from the West is glad he's gone and not all Africans are mourning his death. He killed many Ndebele tribes members. He also hung his own black people. So, just because he may be seen as a hero to some, doesn't mean all black people love him. He should have worked with the whites more. He died in Singapore, which is not part of Zimbabwe in any way.
Stupid comment. Don't Compare him with Mandela, Mandela was far much better than Mugabe who left his people scattered all over the world, some of them are casualties of xenophobia. Mandela won the Nobel Prize But Mugabe was slammed of gross human rights violation. the man who supporting Mugabe he benefitted from Mugabe's ruling.
Nduduzo Ntuthuko Vundla Mandela was a sell out, even his wife, The late Mini Mandela said so. Unlike Nelson, the great Mugabe showed strength and resilience in fighting white dominations against his people.
@@capoislamort100 what's the point of fighting white domination and thereafter, you fail to run the country and you become a fascist, a murderer and dictator?
@@nduduzontuthukovundla4901 So it's better to keep white domination and still die anyway as is happenning in South Africa? How many are killed every day in South Africa?

This debate can go on and on, but truth will not change “His Excellence our former President CDE RG Mugabe” was and will remain a Hero period! Whether people like it or not, All sin Big or Small, God can forgive and therefore, our Beloved HERO was long forgiven by the CREATOR of this UNIVERSE, so let’s not judge. The Bible in “1 Samuel 30” King David a man loved by God wiped/killed the entire city and he was a Great King before God. therefore in any war in any country anytime there will be casualties, let’s not judge “CDE RG”period! Read the Bible and stop judging our True & Smartest African leader.
Theres a difference between incompetence and evil. He was the latter. Its not that he didn't know how to rule....he ruled the way he wanted to with an iron fist and got exactly what he wanted....power.
The Great Robert Mugabe President of Zimbabwe, Yes I said President of Zimbabwe because the man that took his place, is a traitor and not the true president of Zimbabwe, the white racist of America and Europe help overthrow Robert Mugabe and get him out of office and now the white people do not like the president that took Robert Mugabe's place because only thing they want to do is steal the resources from Africa, and all black African leader on the continent and around the world should know that. The great Robert Mugabe will be missed I pray that his family will be safe and blessed, From America. 🌍🌍🌺⚘

They all begin as heroes, but deep inside sits an unquenchable thirst for power, to the point of self-delusion. Pick any dictator anywhere at any time in history, they are pretty much the same guy. And no, as an African, I can say he is not a hero to anyone I've ever met. Anyone who says otherwise simply can't stomach reality for whatever reason.
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I believe Mugabe had good intentions initially but he turned himself into the cruelty and inhumanity that twisted him.
He is a HERO in the AFRICAN context, a VILLAIN in WEST context. He did not accept to be puppet that’s why he is portrayed by the media and the West as Tirant and Villain.
Robert Mugabe took back a piece of Africa from English imperialists and turned into a proud and free country void of any colonial interference. The name Zimbabwe is the legacy of comrade Mugabe. Long live ZANU_ PF.
He massacred his opposition because the opposition were siding with the Colonisers a time where the people were fighting for their complete freedom from Britain.
If I remember correctly, many White Zimbabweans supported ZANU-PF opposition. Not because of colonialism, but because they want an end to the ZANU-PF dictatorship.
A severely damaged economy may be fixed with change of leadership......but how can emotional and psychological damage inflicted on the Zimbabwean people, under the watch of Mugabe and Zanu pf,be resolved?The Zimbabwean people have lost their dignity as a people,once proud people are just a shadow of themselves
*Both. Hero for trying to recover their stolen lands from invaders.* *Villain cause he couldn't fix his country neither did he put it on a path for his successor to fix.* *Yes, sanctions imposed on his country contributed but if had reached out to more nations, he could've stabilized things.*
When the imperialists owned the land and fed Europe, Mugabe was the darling. When Mugabe gave the land to the rightful owner he turned tyrant. Hypocrisy and double standards
Only a tyrant steals land that does not belong to him and thereby doing he destroys the food supply of his people. Whether you like it or not grabbing farms would be illegal anywhere in the world. You can't deny that the war veterans given the land did not have a clue as to how to farm. Mugabe also claimed the land back and gave many of those farms to his friends and family. The people could not cultivate the land and ended up back as farm labourers and gladly so.
No, it just shows how biased you are. He didn't let the colonizers have their way. And so what about his hospital bill? Health care is super expensive and he was a president. Get over yourself.
@@urbanaafricana He was an EX (ousted) president. Not president. And your ignorance re the state of healthcare in Zimbabwe is inexcusable. Fingers in ear, brick in brain: "La-la-la-la-la!" I am a black African, you idiot. get off your "White-man so bad to me" cross. Someone needs the wood. The white man has been out of Africa for over half a century now, and still you have the oppressed house-boy mentality. Who will you blame for your stupidity in a hundred years? The Chinese?
Mugabe really liberated Zimbabwe from British colonizers while Nelson Mandela and Ramaphosa sold out South Africa to Dutch colonizers from Holland and indians
He will be remembered in history as the man who created The Highest-Denominated Bill Ever Issued for a legal-tender in the history of human civilization. The note was : 100.000.000.000.000,- Or equivalent to........ Are you ready...?..... $5...😆😅😂🤣
He was a fair leader according to how am seeing everyone's reasoning in the comments. He killed where he needed to because sometimes you need to do bad in order to be good and vise versa. He also fought for Africans at international levels. So me I see every opinion hear is right.
Zimbabwe might have political issues etc But hey black people actually own their Zimbabwe and credit where is due. At least when Zimbabwe recovers it will be actual Zimbabweans eating not some imperial
He is a great icon......black people will always love him......sanctioned for freeing his country of pink economic social political domination................
Icon of evil and only black people who love corrupt, incompetent dictators love him. His country has no decent hospitals which is why he died in a well funded hospital in Singapore.
Mugabe will forever be a Hero. He fought for freedom and we got it. We are not puppets anymore. That South African "Professor" does not have anything good to say about Zimbabwe. Mr. Magaisa of course has always been in the opposition camp and he earns his living that way so we are not surprised. But all in all Mugabe is a Hero and we in Africa and Zimbabwe forever cherish him.
The greatest legacy of Mugabe is that more Zimbabwean stay outside of the country more than during the colonial rule, many sell brooms in my township of soshanguve in South Africa, in Africa is always aluta continua, the struggle should come to an end and people should enjoy the benifits of liberty
That's not true... Because SA is better now doesn't mean mock your fellow Africans... SA is where it is because of people like Mugabe who didn't grab the land first to allow for Apartheid South Africa to negotiate with Black South Africans... Check your history

@Okello Okello At least the indians and aboriginals do not die of hunger, and have no future for their kids. Last time i checked they lived well
@Okello Okello so you're cool with dying?
@@kobie451 That is not true at all. Native Americans and Aboriginals have very high rates of alchoholism/drug abuse, high suicide rates, high mortality...they are disenfranchised in so many ways...treated horribly by the police, children also taken away for adoption by white families (research 'The Stolen Generation')...o how did you ascertain that they live well? It has been torture for them ever since white people arrived on their land. Obviously you have never been to the U.S or Australia or you would know certain things. Stop spreading lies on here. You dare say they live well? Get out of here with your pathetic ignorance.
@@urbanaafricana I was comenting on Okello's post comparing ZImbabwe to them.U can not tell me they do not have a better life than in Zimbabwe. Social welfare and medical care in US and Australia, nada in Zimbabwe. They do not have to flee to other countries and work for peanuts to survive. Their kids have basically free education. In Zimbabwe a $100 a month would be bliss for the average person. I am not saying their plight is to be disregarded, but the indians and aboriginals at least have education and oportunities. Last time I heard they were not banned from finding work and uplifting themselves. In Zimbabwe there is NO work fullstop. As for the Indians the tribes were murdering each other long before white people.
3:28 Expert on Mugabe? My God
Anthony Yormesor hahhaha that was extreme far by all stretch of imagination. Expert on Mugabe. Hahhaahhahaa
when colonial masters impose sanctions on a country because they got back their lands and then judge the era of a great leader based on the consequences of the trade and economic sanction. that is just not a level playing field for conclusions
yawn
This man will be remembered for the genocide on the Matabele nation, emptying of state coffers and starving his own people.
I don't know whether he is a hero or a villain but I know for a fact that HE ISN'T GAY.
Yes he wasn't, seldom did the world see him laugh
@@nobs997 I was referring to him saying "we are not gays" in the UN. I hope you got the joke.
@@theking7908 I definitely did, was just trying to slide in another joke
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 he wasn't gay for sure
A hero of villains...

He is a hero in Africa R.I.P

Champion of African revolution and liberation a true hero
According to me President Mugabe was African hero. He brought back the stolen land and made Zimbabwean the most educated in Africa continent. The issue of economic hardship was engineered by the West to adulterated Mugabe's achievements in Zimbabwe and Africa at large.
As much as you are entitled to your opinion from reading your contribution I feel that opinion has been influenced by misinformation. Mugabe said he was taking land from the colonisers as he claimed that he could not allow them a minority to have the lion's share of the land at the expense of suffering Africans. Surprisingly the ordinary African man never benefited from this exercise only government officials and a few relatives including the Chinese benefited.
brought back the stolen land to kill his own people on it. Imagine taking something back and now the situation is worse than it was when it wasn't in your hands. That says a lot....no further proof needed. The 4% of whites could farm and feed the whole country......once they took the farms back.....famine? How does that work? How do black people starve more under black rule than under white racists?
He is a hero alright by making Zimbabweans trillionaires 😂
How Robert Mugabe is seen , depends on who writes the story , West or Africans . That's why it's important that Africans are instrumental in writing their own stories ,
the facts are more important than who writes the stories duh.
@@solideogloria9320 If you believe that then you're just another typical Western soup drinker . Was it not the West who said that Black people had no culture ; that the Ife Bronze masks , Benin Bronze mask and arts , were made by Europeans . Facts right , Duh, lol
Or Matebelle?
Not everyone from the West is glad he's gone and not all Africans are mourning his death. He killed many Ndebele tribes members. He also hung his own black people. So, just because he may be seen as a hero to some, doesn't mean all black people love him. He should have worked with the whites more. He died in Singapore, which is not part of Zimbabwe in any way.
Nope....what I see with my eyes tells the story. Zimbabwe is destroyed.....enough said.
President Robert Mugabe was a true African hero
He is a hero coz he helped Africans get land unlike Mandela who was happy only when he got out of jail
Stupid comment. Don't Compare him with Mandela, Mandela was far much better than Mugabe who left his people scattered all over the world, some of them are casualties of xenophobia. Mandela won the Nobel Prize But Mugabe was slammed of gross human rights violation. the man who supporting Mugabe he benefitted from Mugabe's ruling.
Nduduzo Ntuthuko Vundla Mandela was a sell out, even his wife, The late Mini Mandela said so. Unlike Nelson, the great Mugabe showed strength and resilience in fighting white dominations against his people.
@@capoislamort100 what's the point of fighting white domination and thereafter, you fail to run the country and you become a fascist, a murderer and dictator?
@@nduduzontuthukovundla4901 So it's better to keep white domination and still die anyway as is happenning in South Africa? How many are killed every day in South Africa? Women are assaulted everyday in South Africa. And now you blame foreigners for everything. South Africa is out of control. Black people are still refugees in their country. Living in townships, exiled from their original, homelands.
Mugabe the hero of Africa Mandela has nothing on the General
except for brains, balls, and heart for his people
Not many sane people do
Qasil Skincare Qasil Skincare ~ Mandela was the real deal. He focused on the country and worked tirelessly for South Africa, both black and white, on the international stage. He was loved by the world. His name is a household name all over the world. Visit the shop at the United Nations Books Shop and most of the books are about him. He had true wisdom. He was a great leader and hero. Mugabe...not so much.
They put emfasis on the bad they fear to tell the truth about the strengths of Mugabe
Can’t agree more with @Lenin Chabaya🙌
It is amazing to witness how effectively and intelligently Zimbabwe reversed colonialism.
Its called rhodesia mate
@@purestench9263 cry harder settler
President Robert Mugabe was best president and hero in the African continent
Let us mourn our hero.
He was a true hero he loved his country he even died with honer in his own country.
He was a hero for Africa
He was a true hero he loved his country he even died with honer in his own country.
Not to everyone in Africa. Not even all blacks like him.
Eric Lehman yeah I don’t like him
Suicidal Animal Ummmm....no. He died at a hospital in Singapore. That is not part of Zimbabwe in any way.
A truly great man! He set his country from oppression and colonial rule
Sure, then placed it under a new oppression of dictatorial rule with a helping of genocide and corruption. He was no better than what he replaced.
@@pkz420 I fail to understand this - the genocide was in 1983 to 1987, why was Mugabe thereafter bestowed a knighthood by the Queen of England in 1994 and then stripped of it after taking land from the whites?
Yes, but he also hyperinflated the economy and starved most of his people.
@@kudakwashe715 the video literally stated the genocide was barely noticed probably because he was able to hide it 1:55
RIP our african hero pan africasim father true African son. we don't care what western country says
Villain is western people not africa
He's educated man but not work on it uswell
The right message but from the wrong messenger in the end🔥7 academic degrees but no future vision for the Zimbabwean government and people💯
Went to Singapore in business class came back as cargo...such is life
1st class
kkkkkkk
This debate can go on and on, but truth will not change “His Excellence our former President CDE RG Mugabe” was and will remain a Hero period! Whether people like it or not, All sin Big or Small, God can forgive and therefore, our Beloved HERO was long forgiven by the CREATOR of this UNIVERSE, so let’s not judge. The Bible in “1 Samuel 30” King David a man loved by God wiped/killed the entire city and he was a Great King before God. therefore in any war in any country anytime there will be casualties, let’s not judge “CDE RG”period! Read the Bible and stop judging our True & Smartest African leader.
HE MAYBE A GOOD FIGHTER FOR INDEPENDENCE BUT HE DON'T KNOW HOW TO RULE AND MAKE THE COUNTRY PROSPEROUS AND STRONG.
Theres a difference between incompetence and evil. He was the latter. Its not that he didn't know how to rule....he ruled the way he wanted to with an iron fist and got exactly what he wanted....power.
The greatest zero that ever lived. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
The Great Robert Mugabe President of Zimbabwe, Yes I said President of Zimbabwe because the man that took his place, is a traitor and not the true president of Zimbabwe, the white racist of America and Europe help overthrow Robert Mugabe and get him out of office and now the white people do not like the president that took Robert Mugabe's place because only thing they want to do is steal the resources from Africa, and all black African leader on the continent and around the world should know that. The great Robert Mugabe will be missed I pray that his family will be safe and blessed, From America. 🌍🌍🌺⚘
Idiots
What have you done for your people or the world?I don't think your neighbor's kids even know your name.
I'm here to comment, Robert Mugabe is my hero.
Born again African
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 it hurts! I loved R.G my Cde and my hero. I loved him a lot. I thank God He gave you 95 years which many will not get to. Rest in peace my Cde and my liberator, my fierce man. The man who held up God's word. May God remember you for the good. Amen. Much loved.❤💋❤💋❤💋❤💋❤💋❤💋❤💋❤💋
Amen 🙏, thank God for our former Great Hero 🙌🙌🙌
Uncle Bob will live forever!
African Hero. R.I.P.
Definitely a Hero!!!!
Without a Doubt🙌🙌
He will remain a hero in the eyes of Africans
Edward Kimani but an idiot to the rest of the world
They all begin as heroes, but deep inside sits an unquenchable thirst for power, to the point of self-delusion. Pick any dictator anywhere at any time in history, they are pretty much the same guy. And no, as an African, I can say he is not a hero to anyone I've ever met. Anyone who says otherwise simply can't stomach reality for whatever reason.
Not to the Africans whose families he killed
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I believe Mugabe had good intentions initially but he turned himself into the cruelty and inhumanity that twisted him.
He was great.
nonsense
He is a HERO in the AFRICAN context, a VILLAIN in WEST context. He did not accept to be puppet that’s why he is portrayed by the media and the West as Tirant and Villain.
Pacific Ndondo no,he was a dictator
Robert Mugabe took back a piece of Africa from English imperialists and turned into a proud and free country void of any colonial interference. The name Zimbabwe is the legacy of comrade Mugabe. Long live ZANU_ PF.
be proud and free....and poor and jobless and require aid to even function
but hey, they got pride
Freedom to starve, die or be murdered. At least there are more options now.
In Zimbabwe, I’m a multi-billionaire. I demand a tax cut.
You are RIGHT HONOURABLE EXCELLENCE HERO MUGABE
He massacred his opposition because the opposition were siding with the Colonisers a time where the people were fighting for their complete freedom from Britain.
If I remember correctly, many White Zimbabweans supported ZANU-PF opposition. Not because of colonialism, but because they want an end to the ZANU-PF dictatorship.
The wifey should be arrested ASAP
Won't happen
Should but won’t
A severely damaged economy may be fixed with change of leadership......but how can emotional and psychological damage inflicted on the Zimbabwean people, under the watch of Mugabe and Zanu pf,be resolved?The Zimbabwean people have lost their dignity as a people,once proud people are just a shadow of themselves
Not Mugabe...it is sanctions, BBC and Aljazeera to blame
Hero 🤴🏿
I love you and honour you my president Mugabe and all my ancestors who fought white supremacy and are still fighting, we shall overcome
Remove sanctions on Zimbabwe and see something
Hlemphe Abiel Semelane you forget the monies that disappeared whilst under sanctions. Please don’t blame sanction only.
there is no sanctions on Zimbabwe, there is sanctions on zimbabwe politicians, so they can't keep their money in western banks
There are no sanctions in Zimbabwe
@@mcdonaldsburntchickennugge8231 check Mr mugabe speech on the United nation educate yr self

Rober mugabe is a true hero of africa.
Hahahahaha, he turned Rhodesia from a breadbasket to a basketcase.
And then China comes in....
The story of Africans should be told by Africans period!!
Mugabe really liberated Zimbabwe from British colonizers
If it wasn't for his political ideology in the bush war l would have opposed him but he and ZANLA fought courageously nothing changes that
*Both. Hero for trying to recover their stolen lands from invaders.*
*Villain cause he couldn't fix his country neither did he put it on a path for his successor to fix.*
*Yes, sanctions imposed on his country contributed but if had reached out to more nations, he could've stabilized things.*
When the imperialists owned the land and fed Europe, Mugabe was the darling. When Mugabe gave the land to the rightful owner he turned tyrant. Hypocrisy and double standards
Say it again ... let the world know again...
@@sosharedstone7348 anytime you see the west demonizing a leader know that guy must be doing something right for his people.
Only a tyrant steals land that does not belong to him and thereby doing he destroys the food supply of his people. Whether you like it or not grabbing farms would be illegal anywhere in the world. You can't deny that the war veterans given the land did not have a clue as to how to farm. Mugabe also claimed the land back and gave many of those farms to his friends and family. The people could not cultivate the land and ended up back as farm labourers and gladly so.
@@gilldavis1656it's only white men who know how to farm,black folks don't, ain't it so?
Hero or villain. Good God! The fact that the world even needs to ask this questions shows you how morally corrupt we have become.
THE SO CALL WORLD,should askk themselves who was more of a TYRANT,him or the BRITISH,surely even you can answer that.
@@2CHACHOUU By the wy - his hospital bill was close to 20 000 000 dollars. Let that sink in.
No, it just shows how biased you are. He didn't let the colonizers have their way. And so what about his hospital bill? Health care is super expensive and he was a president. Get over yourself.
@@urbanaafricana He was an EX (ousted) president. Not president. And your ignorance re the state of healthcare in Zimbabwe is inexcusable. Fingers in ear, brick in brain: "La-la-la-la-la!" I am a black African, you idiot. get off your "White-man so bad to me" cross. Someone needs the wood. The white man has been out of Africa for over half a century now, and still you have the oppressed house-boy mentality. Who will you blame for your stupidity in a hundred years? The Chinese?
Mugabe really liberated Zimbabwe from British colonizers while Nelson Mandela and Ramaphosa sold out South Africa to Dutch colonizers from Holland and indians
He was brilliant and deep leader.
He was hero of Africa and the world
Good luck mr president
He will be remembered in history as the man who created The Highest-Denominated Bill Ever Issued for a legal-tender in the history of human civilization.
The note was : 100.000.000.000.000,-
Or equivalent to........ Are you ready...?..... $5...😆😅😂🤣
He was a fair leader according to how am seeing everyone's reasoning in the comments. He killed where he needed to because sometimes you need to do bad in order to be good and vise versa. He also fought for Africans at international levels. So me I see every opinion hear is right.
What? Is hitler also a hero in your eyes?
Why do these reporters feel the need to always interrupt?!
Zimbabwe might have political issues etc
But hey black people actually own their Zimbabwe and credit where is due. At least when Zimbabwe recovers it will be actual Zimbabweans eating not some imperial
Robert Mugabe - Hero or Villain? is definitely a pretty interesting report! I truly did appreciate it so much. Thanks a lot for sharing! Keep it up!
A hero to some, but a villain to others. The whole West doesn't think he's a villain and all Africans don't think he's a hero.
He is greet man and know everyone in world that guy he is left long history his country
He is a great icon......black people will always love him......sanctioned for freeing his country of pink economic social political domination................
Icon of evil and only black people who love corrupt, incompetent dictators love him. His country has no decent hospitals which is why he died in a well funded hospital in Singapore.
Mugabe will forever be a Hero. He fought for freedom and we got it. We are not puppets anymore. That South African "Professor" does not have anything good to say about Zimbabwe. Mr. Magaisa of course has always been in the opposition camp and he earns his living that way so we are not surprised. But all in all Mugabe is a Hero and we in Africa and Zimbabwe forever cherish him.
Yes he is a true hero and he loves his country he even died in his country with honer.
A true hero who killed more Africans than the colonisers ever did. A hero indeed like his protege Kagame
Hero. R.l.P Our African Hero. President Robert Mugabe. Sleep and take your rest.
Rest in paradise comrade
Hero for blacks and villain for white supremacist and imperialist.
The greatest legacy of Mugabe is that more Zimbabwean stay outside of the country more than during the colonial rule, many sell brooms in my township of soshanguve in South Africa, in Africa is always aluta continua, the struggle should come to an end and people should enjoy the benifits of liberty
That's not true... Because SA is better now doesn't mean mock your fellow Africans... SA is where it is because of people like Mugabe who didn't grab the land first to allow for Apartheid South Africa to negotiate with Black South Africans... Check your history
I don't need to study any history for me to know that mugabe is a war criminal who destroyed a very prosperous country zanu pf like the ANC are no longer representing the people but are just organised criminal syndicates masquerading as political parties, yes highly educated zimbabwean are exploited by the capitalist class in South Africa, do you see Any mocking in what I have written
DEFINITELY A HERO! RIP, HONORABLE MUGABY.
Filled his own pockets
