Disagree Charlie,

Yomo Kenyata took over Kenya after independence following the Mau Mau uprising. He understood what his country needed and fostered a multi-cultural society in order that the nation could thrive.

Mugabe took over Zimbabwe which had an extremely healthy economy and excellent prospects after a guerilla war. He first turned on his formed allies and carried out an extensive campaign of ethnic cleansing in Matabeleland, then resorted to cronyism to maintain power and succeeded in driving a potentially rich country to hell in high gear.

Nothing whatsoever to do with British Colonialism, but a hell of a lot to do with the unfettered actions of a powercrazy, corrupt, meglomaniac.
