Zeinab Badawi speaks to Supa Mandiwanzira, Zimbabwe's Deputy Information Minister.

HARDtalk meets Zimbabwe's Deputy Information Minister Supa Mandiwanzira. How does he justify being part of a government accused of benefiting an elite while impoverishing the many?

Zimbabwe's fortunes have for three decades been tied to one man - President Robert Mugabe.

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?
