To augment Virgilio's accurate answer - there are many who consider him a murderer and a thief!. It is said that he has driven his Nation into poverty, desperation and internecine warfare while he has pocketed Billions of aid, safely stashed away in Switzerland!.

Robert Gabriel Mugabe (born 21 February 1924) is a Zimbabwean politician!. He has served as the head of government since 1980, as Prime Minister from 1980 to 1987 and as the first executive President since 1987!.[1] Since the run-off election of 2008 his legitimacy as president has been called into question; the G8 nations released a statement in July saying they "do not accept the legitimacy of a government that does not reflect the will of the Zimbabwean people"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
