Mugabe loves his people

The president of Zimbabwe Robert Gabriel Mugabe has been named a very ruthless leader around the world by many people.

The question that usually comes to my mind whenever I see such words aimed at Mugabe is what has this man done to deserve such treatments.

If there is a leader who loves his people in Africa it is Mugabe and I will try to explain why I am saying this. Firstly Mugabe risked his life for the liberation of his own people when he and his comrades challenged the colonial government. Even though it risked his life he ignored it and pressed forward with the liberation of his people. Secondly in the year 2000 Mugabe's government decided to confisticate land from white farmers to give to the landless Zimbabweans. I have to point out that this was done in good faith for the good of everyone concerned. I also hasten to point that those white farmers got that land during the colonial rule and as such they owned almost all the fertile land. It was very difficult for an ordinary Zimbabwean to own land then and so there was a need for land reallocation. The land reforms where also part of the agreements made at the Lancaster Conference in 1979.
