Robert Mugabe Part 1: The Young Scholar

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. For
