About Robert Mugabe
Robert Gabriel Mugabe (born 21 February 1924) is a Zimbabwean politician. He was originally a teacher and academic but was involved in campaigning for majority rule in the then Southern Rhodesia in the early 1960s as publicity secretary of the Zimbabwe African People’s Union. He broke away with Ndabiningi Sithole to form the Zimbabwe African National Union in 1963. As an African nationalist he was interned by the Rhodesian government in 1964 and remained in prison for ten years. On his release he went into exile where he became a commander in the ‘Second Chimurenga ‘ war and participated with Joshua Nkomo in the Patriotic Front political alliance. After the Lancaster House Agreement of 1979, Mugabe led ZANU-PF to victory in elections in 1980 and became the first Prime Minister of Zimbabwe. He has been in power ever since, since 1987 as executive President. Initially praised for trying to accommodate the white population, he moved to deprive his rival Nkomo of a power base and in 1987 Nkomo’s PF-ZAPU was forced to merge with ZANU-PF, effectively removing any credible opposition. In the late 1990s economic problems led to a serious challenge through the emergence of the Movement for Democratic Change as an opposition party; elections in which the MDC were defeated have been challenged by some international observers as tainted by intimidation. A need to ensure his popularity with his grassroots supporters led him to start moves to seize farms owned by white farmers in order to achieve land reform. International sanctions were placed on Zimbabwe by the European Union and United States over these two issues.
