Stan Mudenge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Isaak Stanislaus Gorerazvo Mudenge (born December 17, 1941) was the foreign minister of Zimbabwe from 1995 until April 2005, under Robert Mugabe. He was replaced in a cabinet reshuffle by Simbarashe Mumbengegwi and became minister of higher education instead[1] after factional infighting within the ruling ZANU-PF party.[citation needed].
Mudenge is a professional historian focusing on African history in general but with specialty on the pre-colonial Zimbabwean history. He has published several books in this regard.
He has aligned himself with the Masvingo (Mnangagwa) faction which is antagonistic to the Mujuru faction due to wrangles concerning ascendancy to the presidency if Mugabe vacates[citation needed].
Mudenge, from southern Zimbabwe, is apparently seriously ill and suffering from an undisclosed ailment.[2]
