| Robert Gabriel Mugabe became Zimbabwe’s first prime minister in 1980. He became president of the country in 1987 after constitutional reform abolished the office of prime minister. Mugabe had helped lead the black nationalist movement in the 1970s that ended white minority rule and secured the country’s formal independence from the United Kingdom in 1980. | ||||||
