Zimbabwe: President calls opponents “witches, prostitutes”

Mar 01, 2008 in Africa

US presidential candidates who think they know how to talk tough need to borrow some stinging electoral vocabulary from Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe.

The 84-year-old ruler has described his opponents as “bootlicking British stooges, the traitors and sell-outs, the political witches and political prostitutes, political charlatans and the two-headed political creatures.”

President Mugabe who has been in power since 1980 is seeking re-election in his country’s March polls.
