Your going to have fun with that since Mugabwe pretty much banned foreign journalists. Try searching the BBC News site or reuters for a start. I suspect things will be a bit thin for recent months though

talk about white farmers having their productive land "repatriated" and what they think of that. Talk about shotguns being used to kill vermin......

Tobacco sales make up a large proportion of their GDP so might get some intresting stuff about that?

Dear Comrades
After the recent spate of biased and mischievous reporting by the colonialist foreign press, I have ultimately decided to reveal to you, the honest and hard-working citizens of Zimbabwe, a little more of Mugabe - The Man.

I know you love your leader as much as you love your country. I know you deserve to see what kind of man I am. To those of you that already know me, this will simply be a joyous refresher of your cherished memories of me. To those with the still unfulfilled desire to know me better, I welcome you to an intimate glimpse of Mugabe - The Man.

===========


Just put Mugabe into Google.
