Morgan Tsvangirai

Can the MDC loosen President Mugabe's grip on Zimbabwe?

In a HARDtalk interview on 26th November Zeinab Badawi talks to Zimbabwe's opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai.

Zimbabwe's opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai is in Europe to gather support for "free and fair" elections.

His party, the Movement for Democratic Change is seen as the only credible challenge to the ruling Zanu PF party, but President Mugabe is showing no signs of loosening his 24 year grip on power.

The MDC is also struggling with accusations of weak leadership, a distinct lack of support from other African states and internal disunity.

So how will the man Robert Mugabe described as Tony Blair's "tea boy" convince Africa he should be Zimbabwe's next President?

He talks to Zeinab Badawi.
