Real Dictators

Robert Mugabe Part 1: The Young Scholar


Listen Later

For almost four decades, Robert Mugabe held the reins of power in Zimbabwe with an iron grip. As a youthful idealist, he led a revolutionary movement that put his country back in African hands. But once in power, he presided over a regime of brutality and jaw-dropping corruption. So what events helped form Mugabe? And how did he manoeuvre himself from obscurity to power?

A Noiser production, written by Duncan Barrett.

This is Part 1 of 4.
