Robert Gabriel Mugabe, the president of Zimbabwe who turned 90 on 21st February, 2014 is the oldest head of government in the world. He is also ranked fifth on the list of current longest ruling non-royal national leaders.

Robert Mugabe's political awakening happened while in Ghana, where he was a teacher and met his first wife, Sally Hayfron. He arrived a year after pan-Africanist politician Kwame Nkrumah had led the Gold Coast to independence in 1957, the first sub-Saharan country to throw off the shackles of colonial rule.
