No. Zimbabwe has been an independent country since 1965. From 1965-1979, it was independent as Rhodesia. That regime was overthrown in 1980 by Robert Mugabe, who has remained as the "President" and dictator of Zimbabwe to this day.
Zimbabwe was once the British colony of Southern Rhodesia. In 1964 the white-controlled government issued a unilateral declaration of independence and called its country simply Rhodesia. Following the resulting civil war, a settlement with the Black forces in 1979 produced an independent government with both white and black participation, and a country called Zimbabwe Rhodesia. In 1980 a transition to full majority rule and ceremonial independence from the UK was accompanied by a name change to Zimbabwe. So Zimbabwe has been fully independent since 1980, at the least.

Following a bitter civil war, majority rule was conceded and the country became the independent state of Zimbabwe.
