President Robert, Mugabe has blasted former president Nelson Mandela's
reconciliation policies, and has labelled him "too much of a saint"
in a television interview.
"Mandela has gone a bit
too far in doing good to the non-black communities, really in some cases at the
expense of [blacks]...," Mugabe reportedly told talk show host Dali Tambo
in an interview.
"That is being too
saintly, too good, too much of a saint," he said.
The interview, filmed for
Tambo's show People of the South, would be aired next Sunday, the newspaper
reported.
According to The Sunday
Independent , the interview included footage of the Mugabe family and
interviews with Mugabe's wife Grace at a dairy farm.
Tambo filmed the interview in
Zimbabwe before Christmas and showed the family the final edit in Harare last
weekend.
The newspaper reported that
Tambo had denied accusations that he was sprucing up Mugabe's image through the
"rare" interview and said he did not mind who was angry with him for
interviewing the Zimbabwean leader.
"I interviewed Rhodesian
leader Ian Smith in Cape Town in a previous series. This programme is not HardTalk....
It is not a political programme. We all have a nice lunch together. Mugabe is
an icon," he told the newspaper.
The Sunday Times reported that
Mugabe told Tambo in the interview that it was not time for him to go yet, and
that Zimbabweans still needed him.
He reportedly told Tambo age
would not force out of office.
"My people still need me,
and when people need you to lead them it is not time, sir - it doesn't matter
how old you are - to say goodbye."
