Supa Mandiwanzira - Deputy Information Minister, Zimbabwe

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC NewsLatest broadcast: on BBC News

Zimbabwe's fortunes have for three decades been tied to one man - President Robert Mugabe. Now, once again, Zimbabwe is staring economic catastrophe in the face, less than a year after the ruling Zanu PF won another term in power. State coffers are virtually empty and potential investors are being scared away by seizures of land and foreign-owned assets. HARDtalk speaks to Supa Mandiwanzira, Zimbabwe's deputy information minister. How does he justify being part of a government that is accused of cronyism, rigging elections and of squandering public funds for the benefit of an elite, whilst impoverishing the many? Show less
