Denis R. Norman (26 March 1931 – 20 December 2019) was a British-Zimbabwean politician who spent a total of twelve years in the Cabinet of Robert Mugabe.
He was known as "Nothing Wrong Norman" due to his penchant for trying to put a positive spin on difficult situations.
[3] Norman headed the Commercial Farmers' Union when Robert Mugabe came to power in 1980.
[1][2][4][5] Mugabe asked Norman to leave the government after the 1985 elections which resulted in Ian Smith's faction winning most of the (minority-designated) white roll seats.
The then-Prime Minister was aggrieved that the party which was sympathetic to ZANU-PF's cause did not win even though Mugabe had 'tried to appeal to the white population in Zimbabwe'.
