Robert Mugabe is known as the anchor of Zimbabwe’s liberation struggle and problem child in its post-colonial politics. 

But what is the real legacy of his long 37 year rule of Zimbabwe?

In this episode  Professor Lawrence Hamilton interviews Professor David Moore on his new book Mugabe’s Legacy: Coups, Conspiracies and the Conceits of Power in Zimbabwe. Moore talks about modes of production in Africa, corruption, violence and rent-seeking and gives us his views on exceptionalism in Zimbabwe and South Africa. 

Also not to be missed in the political agenda is a snapshot of  the recent Nigerian elections and a look at how much of an issue corruption was at the polls.
