Gono clocks 250 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.

Gono now has the highest number of cables published on our site followed by Finance Minister Tendai Biti and then former Information Minister Jonathan Moyo.

But the person with the highest number of cables is Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai followed by President Robert Mugabe.

We have so far published 103 cables on Tsvangirai and 152 on Mugabe but plan to publish them all.

We have more than 1 200 cables under one page and have classified them according to individuals. To read cables on each individual, please use our index:
