Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC News North AmericaLatest broadcast: on BBC News Latin America

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
