Gideon Gono surpasses 150 Wikileaks cables

Gideon Gono was at one time the de facto Prime Minister of Zimbabwe. He had become so powerful that he sent shivers through many original founders of the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front. But he is now a pale shadow of his former self. There are 290 cables on Gono, making him third with the highest number of cables after Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and President Robert Mugabe. Here are the first 157.

On Wednesday we are kicking off with President Robert Mugabe as he marks his 88th birthday. Mugabe has 756 cables.

In March we will be focussing on Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai as he celebrates his 60th birthday. Tsvangirai has more cables than anyone. He has 826.
