May 1981 - Zimbabwes First Traumatic Year Prime Minister

May 1981 - Zimbabwes First Traumatic Year Prime Minister Robert Mugabe addresses a crowd on the need for reconciliation. Even Zimbabwes staunchest supporters noticed the heavily-armed bodyguards who constantly watch over him. Robert Mugabe has been likened to a man on a tight-rope juggling with high explosives. He has had to foster goodwill and reconciliation between previous enemies, balance political hopes and powers in nationalist circles, create and follow an ideology which satisfies the aspirations of the majority, while not driving off the middle class whose wealth and expertise still keeps the economy going, and subdue the hot-heads and power-hungry within his own party.
