Bashing Morgan

Morgan Tsvangirai after being beaten by Police in Harare

Here's a self incriminating transcript from an interview on SW Radio Africa with Violet Gonda who was attempting to get some sense out of Kembo Mohadi, Zimbabwe Minister of Home Affairs. Absolutely no comment is necessary - the learned honourable member of parliament simply hands himself - and probably pats himself on the back for having done such a good interview.

Cde Mohadi muses over the evil foreign press

whose lies are destroying his hard won freedom

"Violet: But Minister these MDC leaders and activists have actually appeared in court covered in blood. So how can you explain this?

Mohadi: Ah no, when was that?

Violet: How can you explain this?

Mohadi: When was that? When was that? When did they appear in Court covered in blood? That is a wrong statement. When was it?

Violet: The MDC...

Mohadi: Did you see them covered in blood?

Violet: Morgan Tsvangirai...

Mohadi: Did you see them covered in blood?

Violet: Morgan Tsvangirai appeared on TV.

Mohadi: Ah no.

Violet: He was seen on TV.

Mohadi: He was not even covered in blood. That's a lie. You come to Zimbabwe and witness this for yourself and don't be talking about things you don't know. And we on't ban people from coming to Zimbabwe. Why do you have to listen to CNN and SkyNews and BBC. Come to Zimbabwe and see for yourself and report correctly.

Violet: But Minister Mohadi you know that... (Sound of the phone line going dead.)

Like I said, no comment required - Comrade Mohadi's erudite way with words does it all for us!
