The Michael Mataure Wikileaks cables

Michael Mataure, the former ZANU-PF legislator for Chimanimani, was an outspoken critic of the party just before he was kicked out. There are, however, only three Wikileaks cables that mention his name but all three were highly critical of the ruling party.

Here they are:

3-Mugabe so unpopular that he needs 250 000 to canvass for him

2-Mugabe believes he is the only one who can hold ZANU-PF together

1-MPs panel beaten to pass land bill
