 Typically of African dictators, President Bingu wa Mutharika flew into Harare "for private talks" with President Mugabe, to exchange ideas which their citizens are not supposed to know anything about.
Even the State-owned Herald was reduced to speculating about the visit of wa Mutharika who only said President Mugabe was his fraternal brother so he should share ideas with him. Malawi which was dependent on British aid for a third of its budget is now facing acute fuel, fertiliser, foreign currency and electricity shortage, and riots, and instability following the tin-pot dictators' ill-advised cutting of diplomatic relations with Britain. |

 The Minister of Health and Child Welfare, Dr. Henry Madzorera has dismissed claims by some Zanu PF officials and the State media that the current outbreak of typhoid was as a result of biological warfare by the British.
Some Zanu PF officials have been quoted in the State media falsely claiming that the outbreak was as a result of the British government. No further evidence was made by the officials or the State media to support their claims. “There is no link between the current typhoid outbreak and the British. We owe it ourselves and there is need to remedy the situation,” said Dr. Madzorera who is the MDC Secretary for Health and Senator for Kwekwe.
