Re: At last
He started as a goodie and then became a baddie. Of course that's according our media which isn't particularly unbiased.

Re: At last
He once told Tony Blair during some international spat to, "keep his pink nose out of it". Why the use of an adjective I do not know

Re: At last
A Goodie? Must have been before my time.
I only ever remember Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graham Garden & Bill Oddie
When Mugabe was a Goodie did they have a 4 seater bike?

Re: At last
You could say that about nearly every world leader. Not defending Mugabe, horrible man but not exactly a one off.

Re: At last
There wouldn't be much doubt about that, as he has described his predecessor as 'an icon!'

Re: At last
During Rhodesia's Civil war
Mugabe was portrayed in the British press
as the Friend of Ian Smith & Nkomo was seen as
The Beast & bad guy of the day.
Only years later did it change to Nkomo was the
man to back & that Mugabe had conned all who
backed his rise to power.

He smarmed to him to get the better news & political coverage , so friend seemed the only reasonable word.
Nkomo was most definitely a foe to both.
