Hwende was adamant that Mugabe liberated the nation from imperialists. Replying to William Zambezi@williamzambezi, Hwende said:
From white oppressors yes but oppressed by a new crop of black dictators
Vana Hwende trying to be politically correct. He needs to be reminded of how many MDC people where killed by the ruthless Mugabe regime
SG mapindwa nei. Gloating over a ruthless dictator? @nelsonchamisa please beware of such ideologies , expressed publicly for that matter. It’s worrying. Why not just say RIP?
Generally, there are divided opinions over the legacy of Mugabe. Some analysts believe the veteran leader destroyed his own legacy by his deeds after independence. Mugabe was accused of violating human and for presiding over a failed economy.

Chalton Hwende did the right thing. He is demonstrating statesmanship. At least he now sees the shallow-mindedness of most of the people who supports his party. On this one, Mr Hwende is spot-on! Nothing can take away the good things that Mugabe for our nation, but we must not absolve him of the mistakes he made. MHSRIP.
Yes the former President liberated us from white monopoly. Big up to you Mr Hwende👍👌
