Not to be a nerd but 50 cents is only 120,000,000,000,000 dollars

To anyone who's confused about why people are so angry about Mugabe, here's the reason why: In December 2017 the website Zimbabwe News, calculating the cost of the Mugabe era using various statistics, said that at the time of independence in 1980, the country was growing economically at about five per cent a year, and had done so for quite a long time. If this rate of growth had been maintained for the next 37 years, Zimbabwe would have in 2016 a GDP of US$52 billion. Instead it had a formal sector GDP of only US$14 billion, a cost of US$38 billion in lost growth. The population growth in 1980 was among the highest in Africa at about 3.5 per cent per annum, doubling every 21 years. Had this growth been maintained, the population would have been 31 million. Instead, as of 2018, it is about 13 million. The discrepancies were believed to be partly caused by death from starvation and disease, and partly due to decreased fertility. The life expectancy has halved, and death from politically motivated violence sponsored by government exceeds 200,000 since 1980. The Mugabe government has directly or indirectly caused the deaths of at least three million Zimbabweans in 37 years. Taken directly from Wikipedia, folks.

Too often figures like Mugabe are detailed as "heroic anti-colonialist" in academia due to bias since they fought Europeans,when in reality Mugabe was a brutal Marxist dictator who's actions before and after gaining power were full of tyranny,corruption and violence and as you mentioned his power grab(backed by the UK) lead to Rhodesias transforming from one of the most prosperous countries in Africa to one of the most corrupt,underdeveloped and broken countries in Africa with effects that very much linger to this day.

We lived in a really nice house on a compound surrounded by a 6ft security fence, with guards and all the works... 6 months later, we had to FLEE because of those darned Botswanan guerillas, an event I have never been able to remember; we spent the next 6 months living in Bulawayo, with my parents split/divorced & my mother forced to live in a dingy Salvation Army hostel as our own denomination wouldn't help coz, you know, infidelity... and in October of 1978 she & I left to return to Australia, without my younger brother, and I've never seen my father, brother or Africa since - but I'd love to go back there one day, to see the old homestead, etc... dreams!

And let's go over why the white population had all the technical skills, its almost like both the Congo and Rhodesia refused to allow the native Africans to gain any kind of higher education or skills, and were expected to only perform manual labour or minor administrative work. Both made sure that any independent nation could not function without them, but also refused to accept any concessions to their strict race based social hierarchy until it was too late.

To say it's Smith's fault is acting like letting his people get raped and killed is a better alternative than to fighting for independence. There were no great sides in this war, so blaming one side over another is biased and refusing to acknowledge the whole situation.
