a former finance minister of zimbabwe, patrick chinamasa, described mr mugabe as an icon, earlier ondicated his life to the liberation notjust of zimbabweans but to all oppressed people internationally. he left a huge legacy, not just to zimbabwe but to the continent. to zimbabwe, his legacy was in empowering black people in education and in encouraging them to take over the resources and control of their resources in the country. as you know, he is one of the first leaders to resolutely address the colonial question of land occupation. and as a result, zimbabweans are now free, they now have control of their land, now they have control of their resources. he was revolutionary, par excellence. and he contributed immensely to our independence, to our economic empowerment, to our integration. as you know, zimbabwe is the highest in literacy rates. zimbabwe residents are the most in paladin terms of skill and education. and all over the world turns to the legacy that our revolutionary leader, comrade mugabe, has left us. so i'm very saddened that he has passed on. that was the former fi
