Zimbabwe gained independence from British colonial rule in 1980, and since then, the country has had several leaders who are considered the "fathers of the nation." The first leader of independent Zimbabwe was Prime Minister Robert Mugabe, who later became President. Mugabe ruled the country for 37 years, from 1980 until he was ousted in a military coup in 2017.
After Mugabe's removal, Emmerson Mnangagwa took over as President in 2017. Mnangagwa had been a close ally of Mugabe for many years before falling out of favor with him. Mnangagwa has promised to bring about economic and political reforms in Zimbabwe, but his rule has been marked by continued repression and human rights abuses.
Overall, the history of Zimbabwean leaders as fathers of the nation has been marked by a mix of liberation heroes and authoritarian rulers. Mugabe is still revered by some as a hero of the liberation struggle, while others see him as a dictator who ruled with an iron fist. Mnangagwa's leadership has been met with skepticism and criticism from many Zimbabweans who are disillusioned with the lack of progress and continued repression in the country.
