One of the greatest African politicians of the 20th century whom I had the opportunity to meet with during the many years working on the "Black continent" was Robert Mugabe, who died today at the age of 95.

The paths of life were good for me, and in those great last 30 years of the 20-th century I met the greatest leaders of Africa and its National liberation movement - Winnie and Nelson Mandela, Robert Mugabe, Mengistu Haile Mariam, Sam Nuyoma, Julius Nierere, Joe Slovo, Chris Hani, Eduardo Dos Santos, Muammar Gaddafi, Jommo Kenyatta, Bouteflika, Kenneth Kaunda, Samora Machel ... and many, many more.

It was the Great century of the Africa's greatest leaders, including Robert Mugabe.

Unfortunately, not much has remained of their struggle today.

However, their historical contribution, not only to the freedom and human dignity of the Black Continent, will not be forgotten. At least until there are people who have worked with them and remember them with the most vivid memories.

May the soul of Mugabe and the other great African leaders rest in peace.

Let's meet again in a better place.
