Robert Gabriel Mugabe dies , a pre-independence Marxist and post-independence pan-Africanist

Robert Gabriel Mugabe the rock of Shonaland, passes away 

Loved in Africa loathed in the west , the pillar of independent Rhodesia now christened Zimbabwe , a son of carpenter passes away aged 95
A man who challenged the British empire before and after independence he stood tall , but economic woes at part of his presidency , his declaration of the then colonial power Britain as 'enemy nation' earned him a mixed reaction , he is a descendant f African leaders who wanted Africa to unite against the colonial powers
Born in 1924 and died September 6 2019 a day after teachers day and former teacher Mugabe had a mission and a vision , unlike the other PAN-African leaders he stood by his words , he was greatly influence by by First Ghanaian president Kwame Nkurmah , Joshua Nkomo,

He was detained like other African leaders on the charge of calling Prime minister Ian Smith and his administration 'Cow Boys' ten years in prison , actually this is the hand of colonial tentacles that silence its critics in Africa and led to many resistance movement then and today ,The guerilla warfare of pre independent African nations still reverberates in modern day minds

He had friends as well as critics , the man who was once called "the thinking man's guerrilla" is no more, the young pan-Africanist voices will fight intellectually to bring back the flaming torch of the spirit of protecting the land, rivers and minerals.

He was a democrat post-independence and a a Marxist of pre-independence

A mixed ideology that pins Africa to itself and the shackles of foreign aid rips Africa apart
A hope for a new Africa that has roots in the foundations of Pan-Africanist movements will rise to bring back the glory lost and restore sanity this can only happen in one United cause and Africa under the United States of Africa agenda , the eye of African Union are still determined to bring this idea but who will unite Africa , lest we forget the children dying in the barrels of guns and women raped while our reaped apart SD ports and airports are transit points of our natural wealth while the Mediterranean Sea becomes the graveyard of Africa.

Who will ignite panafricanism and ensure that Africa manufactures in Africa and the imbalance of our trade imports and export be balanced to develope and make Africa a visa free for all African and cross boarder travel with one tran-African rail network connecting all capital cities. I pray, hope in my generation the dream will come true
Africa rise , go well Robert Gabriel Mugabe your shortcomings will be remembered and your contributions of bravery in eyes of colonial masters cherished to ignited the firery development and African unity in the era of economic rape that some countries inflict to Africa.

Pan Africansism will rise again
