@article{Tendi2011ROBERTMA, title={ROBERT MUGABE AND TOXICITY: HISTORY AND CONTEXT MATTER}, author={Blessing-Miles Tendi}, journal={Representation}, year={2011}, volume={47}, pages={307 - 318} }
Robert Mugabe is often presented in the international media as the epitome of the popular leader gone awry: the independence struggle hero who seemed initially a progressive egalitarian, but has gradually been corrupted through his attachment to power during a long and increasingly repressive spell in office. This article applies notions of ‘toxicity’ and ‘bad leadership’ to Mugabe, in an attempt to locate him within a comparative and historically-informed perspective.
