Produktinformationen zu „The Graceless Fall of Robert Mugabe (ePub)“
The ousting of Robert Mugabe as Zimbabwe's president took the world by surprise. In this book, award-winning Zimbabwean journalist Geoffrey Nyarota explains how and why the events of November 2017 happened as they did.
Nyarota evaluates the political and economic impact of Mugabe's presidency, showing how he managed to reduce a prosperous nation to a state of destitution through extreme misgovernance. The book describes the rifts within ZANU-PF as Mugabe sidelined anyone who might challenge his power, and the creation of opposing factions that supported Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa and First Lady Grace Mugabe respectively. It traces the growing ambition and power of Grace Mugabe, culminating in the sacking of Mnangagwa as vice president in November 2017, and explains how this finally spurred ZANU-PF to rid itself of the president who had done so much damage to the country over the decades.
Written with the insight of a veteran Zimbabwean journalist, this is a fascinating account of the rise and fall of one of Africa's longest-ruling dictators.

Autoren-Porträt von Geoffrey Nyarota
Geoffrey Nyarota became the first Zimbabwean journalist to tackle official corruption when he exposed the Willowgate Scandal in 1988, resulting in a skirmish with President Mugabe. He was editor of The Chronicle, a state-owned daily from which he was summarily dismissed. In 1999 he became the founding editor-in-chief of The Daily News, which was banned in 2003. He was a fellow at the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University, and he has received nine international journalism awards, including the Golden Pen of Freedom, presented by the World Association of Newspapers, and UNESCO's prestigious Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Award. His first book, Against the Grain: Memoirs of a Zimbabwean Newsman, was published in 2006.
