Mugabe would continue to serve the country for decades in many positions. He was the first prime minister of Zimbabwe from 1980 to the end of 1987. He then was the second president of Zimbabwe from the end of 1987 to November 2017, when he was ousted. All in all he was in politics for more than four decades.
