Our votes must go together with our guns. After all, any vote we shall have, shall have been the product of the gun. The gun which produces the vote should remain its security officer – its guarantor. The people’s votes and the people’s guns are always inseparable twins. Robert Mugabe
I have been given a list of 35 white farmers in Mashonaland West alone. We say no to whites owning our land, and they should go… They can own companies and apartments… but not the soil. It is ours, and that message should ring loud and clear in Britain and the United States. Robert Mugabe
So, Blair keep your England, and let me keep my Zimbabwe. Robert Mugabe
If the choice were made, one for us to lose our sovereignty and become a member of the Commonwealth or remain with our sovereignty and lose the membership of the Commonwealth, I would say let the Commonwealth go. Robert Mugabe
Zimbabwe has lots of safaris, but very few are African. Most are white-owned. In our region, we have the most safaris and animals. Our people cannot keep suffering. Robert Mugabe

Some people are contriving ways and means of making us collapse. Robert Mugabe
We have this American president, Obama, born of an African father, who is saying we will not give you aid if you don’t embrace homosexuality. We ask, was he born out of homosexuality? We need continuity in our race, and that comes from the woman, and no to homosexuality. Robert Mugabe
I wish to assure you that there can never be any return to the state of armed conflict which existed before our commitment to peace and the democratic process of election under the Lancaster House agreement. Robert Mugabe
Grooming a successor, is it an inheritance? In a democratic party, you don’t want leaders appointed that way. They have to be appointed properly by the people. Robert Mugabe

We are not hungry… Why foist this food upon us? We don’t want to be choked. We have enough. Robert Mugabe
Zimbabwe is for Zimbabweans; so are its resources. Robert Mugabe
I’ve just concluded – since President Obama endorses the same-sex marriage, advocates homosexual people, and enjoys an attractive countenance – thus if it becomes necessary, I shall travel to Washington, D.C., get down on my knee, and ask his hand. Robert Mugabe
Was it not enough punishment and suffering in history that we were uprooted and made helpless slaves not only in new colonial outposts but also domestically. Robert Mugabe
I am glad that Zimbabwe and China speak the same language on many issues. We share the same conviction that only a fair, just, and non-prescriptive world order, based on the principles of the charter of the United Nations, can deliver the development we all need. Robert Mugabe
In most recent times, as the West started being hostile to us, we deliberately declared a Look East policy. Robert Mugabe
True, some land was bought by a few Cabinet Ministers. They bought the land. No minister, to my knowledge acquired land which was meant for resettlement. Robert Mugabe
Our small and peaceful country is threatened daily by covetous and bigoted big powers whose hunger for domination and control of other nations and their resources knows no bounds. Robert Mugabe
The white man is not indigenous to Africa. Africa is for Africans. Zimbabwe is for Zimbabweans. Robert Mugabe
We pride ourselves as being top, really, on the African ladder… We feel that we have actually been advancing rather than going backwards. Robert Mugabe

I have died many times. I have actually beaten Jesus Christ because he only died once. Robert Mugabe
We have said the first step was to designate the land, inform the owners. And the second would be to get the responses from the owners. And this will be openly done. Robert Mugabe
People are free to campaign and they will be free to vote. There won’t be any soldiers, you know, at the queues. Anyone who has the right to vote is free to go and cast his vote anywhere in his own area, in his own constituency. Robert Mugabe
Absolutely Zimbabwe will not be the same without the Murdering dictator Mugabe .He has the blood of 100,000 Black Zimbabweans on his hand . He and his Wicked wife have Bankrupted the country and according to the PanamaPapers stealing $5 Billion .His Daughter Bona is living in a $18 Million Townhouse in Hong Kong and protected by the Chinese Government while they have Raped the country.of all the resources.How Pathetic that the Racist who wrote this filth hasn’t got the guts to put his name on it .
That’s one way to put it. But when you talk about his failures never forget what happened at the Lancaster house and how Britain and America promised to compensate the white farmers, but they never did and they turned around and gave us sanctions which destroyed our economy. When you talk about Gukurahundi be sure to mention the role played by other people such as the current president. Then you call whoever wrote this piece a racist? Racist? Black people can never be racist because you can only be racist if you’re speaking from a point of privilege and only white people have that privilege. I will not speak about the money because in African cultures the chiefs and kings always have the nicer things… could he have done better, yes
I think its ignorant to just criticise everything if you’ve seen a black Zimbabwean in Britain who owns even 1/10 of the land that was owned by any white farmer then you can spoil his name in peace.
Nice speeches while he oppressed us Zimbabweans i wish he walked the talk but this man and cronies destroyed Zimbabwe …now Zimbabweans are like Nigerians scattered all over the world and most countries are now running out of patients as thousands if not millions continue to run away from Mugabe’s legacy
That is misguided even though it’s true. He did destroy the country no doubt. But all his quotes are true the real problem will always emanate from the racist institutions of politics and religion which were created by European monarchs during the Renaissance. The whole world institutions work in their favour.
