10 Quotes By Robert Mugabe on Empowerment
Robert Mugabe led the nation of Zimbabwe from 1980 until his resignation in 2017.

In the late 1990s, as his political capital was waning among his own people, he returned to his roots as liberator, launching what became known as the Third Chimurenga (Third War) whose purpose was to redistribute land from white minority farmers to black majority farmers.
Zimbabwe’s land reform also opened the doors for black ownership in previously western and white controlled industries such as mines and local businesses.
