HARDtalk

Welshman Ncube

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC News EuropeLatest broadcast: on BBC News North America

HARDtalk's Zeinab Badawi speaks to Welshman Ncube who leads his own faction of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change - known as MDC-N. The main opposition parties have now formed an alliance, but can they put aside their differences and focus on defeating President Mugabe and his ruling Zanu-PF? Show less
