December- Tendai Biti month

We have decided to dedicate December to Finance Minister Tendai Biti’s Wikileaks cables. Our initial search indicates that he is mentioned in 264 cables much more than former Information Minister Jonathan Moyo.

We have not completed the dossier on Moyo yet but we have so far published 125 cable son him. We will be continuing with both Moyo and Local Government Minister Ignatius Chombo.

But this weekend we are having a special on the commander of farm invasions, Joseph Chinotimba, one of the most controversial politicians in Zimbabwe who like his colleague Chenjerai Hunzvi, seems to have come up from nowhere.

We now have complete dossiers on:

 

Nelson Chamisa

General Herbert Chingono,

Phillip Chiyangwa

Jethro Goko,

Obert Gutu,

Learnmore Jongwe

Grace Kwinje

John Makumbe

Sydney Masamvu,

Strive Masiyiwa

Michael Mataure,

Simba Mudarikwa,

Grace Mugabe,

Joice Mujuru,

Charles Mutama,

Didymus Mutasa,

Pius Ncube,

Trevor Ncube,

Fidelis Satuku and

Jabulani Sibanda

 

Those not yet complete but already indexed are:

 

Tendai Biti

Ignatius Chombo.
