Mugabe and Mahmoud!


Mugabe’s policy of befriending Iran pays off as it finances a new propaganda Radio station in Zimbabwe's second city, Bulawayo.

Iran, which has previously donated funds to refurbish the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation's television and radio stations, will provide a total of US$39.6m for the new station. The money will be spent on re-equipping an old Bulawayo studio providing new digital technology, and sending instructors to train local technicians.

The deal was signed in Harare last Friday, by Iran's ambassador to Zimbabwe, Rasoul Momeni.
