The Kembo Mohadi Wikileaks cables

Kembo Mohadi has been Member of Parliament for Beitbridge since 1985. He proved his value to the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front when he retained his Beitbridge seat in the face of stiff challenge from the Movement for Democratic Change and was rewarded with the powerful post of Home Affairs which he has held for more than a decade now.
