Education has been proved to be and
holds the key to life and Zimbabwe`s very own President Robert Mugabe
tops as the most educated President the World has ever seen.
Zimbabwe also has a very high literacy rate, one of Zimbabwe`s pride.
Love or hate Mugabe let facts be facts and let them be told, a lot of people envy him.
Mugabe is a qualified teacher, he
has a qualification in Economics, he is a lawyer, he has master of laws
from the University of London’s external programme, he obtained a BA
degree in 1951 from Fort Hare University in South Africa, amongst other
qualifications.
At 90 Mugabe leads Zimbabwe, he still
has a spring in his stride, he is very eloquent. Coming to the English
language the man speaks the Queen`s language better than the rest of the
World.
President Robert Gabriel Mugabe, the
world’s most educated president as well, was born on February 21, 1924,
in Kutama, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), just months after Southern
Rhodesia had become a British Crown colony. As a result, the people of
his village were oppressed by new laws and faced limitations to their
education and job opportunities.
Although many people in Southern
Rhodesia went only as far as a grammar school, Mugabe was fortunate
enough to receive a good education. He attended school at the local
Jesuit mission under the supervision of school director Father O’Hea. A
powerful influence on the boy, O’Hea taught Mugabe that all people
should be treated equally and educated to the fulfillment of their
abilities. Mugabe’s teachers, who called him “a clever lad,” were early
to recognize his abilities as considerable.
Mugabe holds seven academic degrees from
South Africa’s Fort Hare University, University of South Africa (Unisa)
and University of London. Six of Mugabe’s university degrees were
actually earned while he was doing distance learning and of the six, he
got two of them while he was in prison. The seven hard-earned degrees
cover a broad range of disciplines including education, economics,
administration, and law.
Over the course of nine years, President
Mugabe studied privately while teaching at a number of mission schools
in Southern Rhodesia. Mugabe continued his education at the University
of Fort Hare in South Africa, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree
in history and English in 1951. Mugabe then returned to his hometown to
teach there. By 1953, he had earned his Bachelor of Education degree
through correspondence courses.
In 1955, Mugabe moved to Northern
Rhodesia. There, he taught for four years at Chalimbana Training College
while also working toward his Bachelor of Science degree in economics
through correspondence courses with the University of London. After
moving to Ghana, Mugabe completed his economics degree in 1958.
Mugabe is, a genuine university graduate
having obtained a BA from the University of Fort Hare in 1951. He
subsequently earned six further degrees , including a BAdmin and BEd
from the University of South Africa and a BSc, bachelor of laws, MSc and
master of laws from the University of London’s external programme.
The two law degrees were earned while he was in prison and the MSc while leading the Zimbabwe government
People have used Mugabe`s name to enrich
themselves, he has been blamed by murderers to claim they are working
for him but when these crimes take place he is not even aware of them.
Let`s just say the man has been unfortunate to have been let down by his very own people and he gets the insults.
Mugabe has a way of capturing attention during his speeches and has a way of cracking jokes in between.

For those who follow Mugabe`s stories
many would have noticed that he used gatherings to hit back at the West
and his enemies or haters, where he mentions them and sends out his
intended messages yet he can be quiet when many are talking and
spreading rumours.
Many have spread rumours that he died but the man will surface and is seen continuing to serve his country.
Old age is another topic that is always on the World`s agenda but he has soldiered on and if compared to many his age or half of his age who are already in nursing homes Mugabe deserves credit.

Age is a number which does not limit
someone`s brains or abilities so people should not get away with saying I
am old I cannot work and go on benefits.

They should learn from him before he dies otherwise he will take his secret to the grave.
Other facts of life to learn from Mugabe
are one should eat healthy food and stay away from junk, engage in
sports and stay away from women, that`s why Mugabe stands tall and alive
at 90 while 30 year olds are dying from AIDS.
