Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe criticises Nelson Mandela for
being too soft on whites, in a documentary giving a rare and intimate
look into the family life of one of Africa's longest serving and most
vilified leaders.
In a cosy lunch setting with his wife and
children, the 89-year old speaks on a wide range of issues from his
controversial hold on power, to his relationships with former British
premiers Tony Blair and Margaret Thatcher.
The two-and-a-half hour interview, described in
detail by British and South African media ahead of its airing, shows the
usually bellicose and sharp-tongued Mugabe as a loving family man.
Dali Tambo, the son of South African
anti-apartheid hero Oliver Tambo, produced the documentary, which will
be broadcast on South African public television next Sunday.
In the programme, Tambo dines with Mugabe's family at his wife Grace's dairy farm.
The interview comes just months before crucial
general elections in the country which in recent decades has gone from
being the breadbasket of southern Africa to its biggest problem child.
