I'm not sure everyone had a place to sleep and something to eat during apartheid plus I remember quite a bit of violence.

@Lorajay The violence of Mugabes' forces against his opponents led to thousands of deaths ... the theft of farms from white farmers led directly to starvation .... nothing comparable or as widespread happened under apartheid

@Lorajay Rhodesia certainly had white minority rule but did not have apartheid like South Africa. I am sure the majority of the indigenous population wanted self determination but not the horror of Mugabe's reign

If he has his way after his next term in office he will emulate Xi in China and be president for life. For the sake of the Americam public let's hope it is a short one.

His initial leadership showed promise - few remember. White farmers stayed and he pushed health and educational reform. Then, he became more and more tyrannical, nstigating revolt and his excuses for severe crackdowns and the country's crashed economy.

@Beowulfsfriend clinging on to power seems to be the fatal flaw in all of these demagogues.
