I got an email from Ali Merifield, that I think is of interest to all you Zimbabweans. Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai is speaking to ‘African Voices’ on CNN this weekend - http://edition.cnn.com/CNNI/Programs/africanvoices/ African Voices airs again today Sunday June 28th at 19.00CAT for those in Zimbabwe and (1800GMT). Tsvangirai talks about his childhood in a small village and eight brothers and sisters, and what inspired his political consciousness. He describes the hard work in the mine and with the trade unions, to the romance of love at first sight when he met his wife, Susan.

Tsvangirai discusses his early political career, his subsequent disillusionment with ZANU PF in the ‘80s, from thinking of Robert Mugabe as his hero, and the shock at the transformation and deterioration of his leadership. He speaks about representing the real working classes through his party the MDC, keeping the faith through the years, and the circumstances that led to the Unity Government.

Also on the programme Morgan Tsvangirai talk about the challenges ahead, his hopes and fears for the future of his country, the role of the international community, and the evolution of Zimbabwe.
