Welshman Ncube- the first 50 Wikileaks cables

Welshman Ncube was the second most powerful person within the Movement for Democratic Change when the party was formed in 1999. His political star, however, began to fade when he led a splinter group in 2005 that insisted that the party should contest the senate elections. A constitutional expert, Ncube may have been right in principle, but the move backfired. Though he allowed Arthur Mutambara to lead the party until he took over, the MDC that Ncube now leads only commands 10 seats in Parliament. It could even lose those seats to either his main rival Morgan Tsvangirai or the resuscitated Zimbabwe African People’s Union led by Dumiso Dabengwa. There are more than 200 Wikileaks cables on him. Here are the first 50.

We have now published more than 1300 Wikileaks cables on Zimbabwe alone. We have classified the cables according to individuals. To read cables on each individual, please use our index:
