What is the significance of Robert mugabe?

Mugabe has been president since 1980 and his country has seen regression and corruption rather than development. Hyperinflation has hit the country. In 2006, inflation rates were greater than 1,000, meaning that food supplies were 11 times more expensive compared to 12 months ago. It has experienced a contraction in its economy and now faces an external debt of US$ 5.821 million (2009). The agricultural sector cannot cope with demands, meaning that food shortages have occurred. There is not enough fuel to generate electricity and the average GNI per capita is 340 US$. HIV/AIDS is an ever increasing serious epidemic, which, in 2007, claimed 140,000 lives. The incidence rate is exacerbated due to a large number of sex workers. The ZANU PF, under the leadership of Robert Mugabe, is incredibly corrupt and foreign aid money it has received has either been used for foreign investments or stored in oversees accounts. Homosexuality, an accepted aspect of life in many parts of the world, is now punishable by 10 years in prison. The land reform act, initially a noble idea as a form of empowerment for the blacks quickly backfired as valuable land was given to men who had either no interest or no knowledge on cultivation and agriculture. Sincerely, there appears to be no redeemable aspects of Mugabe's leadership. He reigns as a dictator and an intolerant and racist one at that. His country could have seen economic growth, instead, its economy has contracted by -4.1%. These are the impacts of his leadership and it really is plain to see that he had no notable positive impact on his country.

How much money do people in Zimbabwe earn each year?

This is impossible to answer in a meaningful way, since Zimbabwe does not have a properly functioning economy, and inflation is quoted as around 2 million percent! Some months ago, the price of a sandwich in a bar was quoted as 5 million Zimbabwean dollars. With stupidities like that, the concept of 'earnings' is not valid. People do what they can to survive.
