Mugabe and many others would not stomach independence under white rule. From Mozambique, Mugabe led ZANU in a protracted struggle against white minority rule. Notorious for her lavish lifestyle, sharp tongue and ambitious politics, Mrs Grace Mugabe had succeeded in removing Joice Mujuru, who was thought to be a main contender to succeed Mugabe, from the way. Once dismissed as vice-president, Mnangagwa slipped out of the country and mobilised the top military commanders to take action against the Mugabe family. The fall of Mugabe is a lesson for the political leadership in Africa.
