Yes, very much so. Originally, it was part of the British Empire, and was named after the English explorer and diamond-mine owner Sir Cecil Rhodes, who died in 1902. Rhodesia became fully independent of Britain in 1980 following a 15-year independence struggle, and changed it's name to Zimbabwe- Robert Mugabe has been it's President ever since then. Even after Independence, it remained a prominent and active member of the Commonwealth. However, following Mugabe's increasing despotism, tyranny and hostility towards Britain, Zimbabwe was suspended as a Commonwealth member, and is likely to remain excluded until the present regime is replaced.
