Not Mandela, not anyone else but Robert Mugabe. If I was a young Zimbabwean I would lead a voluntary young people's movement to shore up domestic support for this true modern African hero.
Having independence is nothing without economic freedoms. This is the one African leader who has bought a giant dildo for the cabbal of resource-hungry opportunistic and parasitic group of Western institutions led by UK and told them to go fock themsel.
Nothing made me snarl more than hearing a white British accent in Africa and Mugabe is on the cusp of heralding a new modus operandi with the burgeoning success of land distribution and neo-colonial shucking off he undertook in Zimbabwe to cost of sanctions, libel, and political targetting.
Zimbabwe is about to show South Africa what happens when courageous steps are under taken (they always say South Africa is Zimbabwe in 1999) and is also starting a new understanding for Africa's young: don't play in THEIR system, develop your people at all cost and then challenge them.
Any reason why African leaders and organizations are falling over themselves to protect Mugabe's reelection while Western foreign offices act like old dinosaurs and show no understanding of Africa's streets.
I predict this man will be considered Africa's necessary economic crusader as early as by the end of this decade.
Mugabe, as a pan-Africanist, you are my hero old man.
They controlled and dominated the agricultural economy.
