Isaak Stanislaus Gorerazvo Mudenge (17 December 1941 – 4 October 2012〔) was a Zimbabwean politician who served in the government of Zimbabwe as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1995 to 2005 and as Minister of Higher Education from 2005 to 2012. ==Life and career== Mudenge was a professional historian focusing on African history in general and specializing in pre-colonial Zimbabwean history. He published several books in this regard. In a cabinet reshuffle on 16 April 2005, following the March 2005 parliamentary election, he was replaced as Minister of Foreign Affairs by Simbarashe Mumbengegwi and was appointed as Minister of Higher Education instead.〔Michael Hartnack, , Associated Press (''Dispatch'', South Africa), 18 April 2005.〕〔("MP's sworn in, new ministers appointed" ), SADOCC, 16 April 2005.〕 This was considered a demotion and followed Mudenge's support for Jonathan Moyo in opposition to Joyce Mujuru within ZANU-PF.〔 Within ZANU-PF, he aligned himself with the Masvingo (Mnangagwa) faction, which was antagonistic to the Mujuru faction due to wrangles concerning ascendancy to the presidency if Mugabe leaves office. Mudenge was nominated by ZANU-PF as its candidate for the House of Assembly seat from Masvingo North constituency in the March 2008 parliamentary election.〔("Zimbabwe: Zanu-PF Names Poll Candidates" ), ''The Herald'', 15 February 2008.〕 According to official results, he received 4,799 votes, defeating the candidate of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), who received 4,450.〔("Zimbabwe election results 2008" ), newzimbabwe.com, 1 April 2008.〕 When the ZANU-PF–MDC national unity government was sworn in on 13 February 2009, Mudenge was retained as Minister of Higher Education.〔("Cabinet sworn in amid chaotic scenes" ), Newzimbabwe.com, 13 February 2009.〕 He remained in that post until he died in October 2012.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stan Mudenge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
