We now have 65 Wikileaks cables on Didymus Mutasa alone

We have now published 65 Wikileaks cables on Didymus Mutasa, the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front secretary for administration. Our initial search indicated that there are 90 which means we have 25 more to go.

Today we are kicking off with a John Makumbe weekend special. There are only 17 cables that mention his name.

November will be Jonathan Moyo month. Fewer academics-turned-politicians have been as controversial as Jonathan Moyo. No one has risen from the dead like Jonathan Moyo. Our initial search says there are 246 cables on him.
