VIDEOS OF ROBERT MUGABE
Robert Gabriel Mugabe (21
February 1924 – 6 September 2019) was a Zimbabwean revolutionary and politician
who served as Prime Minister of Zimbabwe from 1980 to 1987 and then as President
from 1987 to 2017. He served as Leader of the Zimbabwe African National Union
(ZANU) from 1975 to 1980 and led its successor political party, the ZANU –
Patriotic Front (ZANU–PF), from 1980 to 2017. Ideologically an African
nationalist, during the 1970s and 1980s he identified as a Marxist–Leninist,
and as a socialist after the 1990s. His policies have been described as
Mugabeism.
On 6 November 2017, Mugabe sacked his first
vice-president, Emmerson Mnangagwa. This fueled speculation that he intended to
name Grace his successor. Grace was very unpopular with the ZANU–PF old guard.
On 15 November 2017, the Zimbabwe National Army placed Mugabe under house
arrest as part of what it described as an action against "criminals"
in Mugabe's circle.
Mugabe was unable to walk, according to President
Mnangagwa in November 2018 and had been receiving treatment in Singapore for
the previous two months. He was hospitalised in Singapore in April 2019, making
the last of several trips to the country for medical treatment, as he had done
late in his presidency and following his resignation. He died at Gleneagles
Hospital in Singapore on 6 September 2019 at about 10:40 a.m. (Singapore
Standard Time), according to a senior Zimbabwean diplomat. Although the cause
of death was not officially disclosed, his successor Emmerson Mnangagwa told
ZANU–PF supporters in New York City that Mugabe had advanced cancer and his chemotherapy
treatment had ceased to be effective.
