Welshman Ncube (born 7 July 1961) is a Zimbabwean politician, lawyer and businessman. He is the 3rd President of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), a practicing lawyer in the firm Mathonsi Ncube Law Chambers where he is the senior partner at their Bulawayo offices and runs a number of business ventures including a farm in the Midlands Province. He served as a member of the House of Assembly of Zimbabwe for 13 years, from 2000 -2013 and as Minister for Commerce and Industry from 2009 to 2013. Ncube rose to prominence in 1992 when he became one of the youngest professors at the University of Zimbabwe at the age of 31. He emerged from the University of Zimbabwe Faculty of Law as a Professor who had much promise and hope for Zimbabwe based on his good grasp of civil rights and the legal implications as he became one of the founding members of the MDC. His marvelous academic background, wide knowledge on public affairs and venerable leadership skills and experience would prove to be a viable tool in the new political dispensation bound to challenge the complacent Zanu PF. His genius went unpublicized until the wiki leaks era, when one cable by former American Ambassador to Zimbabwe Christopher Dell read “genius, who is highly divisive and must be taken off the stage”. He is one of the three tried with Treason for plotting to topple the government of Robert Mugabe. It later turned out that the charges were a well calculated plot designed by a team of international lobbyist led by the notorious former Isaeli spy Ari Ben-Manashe. Ncube was instrumental in the Global Political Agreement negotiations that led to the formation of the Zimbabwean Government of National Unity (GNU). In the GNU he became the Minister of Industry and Commerce, in that capacity he got to chair COMESA Council of Ministers. He is popular for being assertive, vocal and independent as he also at times does not want to claim all the credit on his chest for the achievements from his political camp. He would rather stand his own ground, express himself well and fight his own case even against the majority as long as he believes in the genuine validity and nobility of his cause. For such bravery and independence he has developed a decent following from various sectors of the population including youth voters and disgruntled citizens yearning for change. Ncube has been a man of his word and he stands by his principles regardless of circumstances, weather or company. == Early life == Welshman Ncube born on July 7, 1961 in Gwelo, Rhodesia, is the fourth born of a family of eight who grew up in the rural Maboleni district. He was raised by his peasant parents. The young Welshman excelled at school, “at no point do I remember Welshman getting anything wrong at school, he was a genius.” said one Albert Nkiwane who went to Primary School with him. He was an athlete who had a passion for short distance running and football. During his secondary schooling he was an exceptional footballer for Luveve Secondary School where he played for the first team. When he later went to Mzilikazi High School, by popular demand he was drafted into the first team under the then coach Ndumiso Gumede who is now the Chief executive Office of the Country's Oldest football club Highlanders “At a tender age his ability to explain and dissect complex national problems was unbelievable” exclaimed his former teacher, who further said it was an obvious thing that he will one day be a politician. 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「Welshman Ncube」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
