President Robert Mugabe has again criticised former president Nelson Mandela.
The 93-year-old leader is not letting go of the matter of Mandela and land redistribution in South Africa.
Speaking at a rally in Zimbabwe's third largest city, Gweru, he said Mandela made too many concessions towards the white minority.
"in Zuma's (SA President Jacob Zuma) administration why the whites still have so much power ... he said "I ask your friend Mandela" as if Mandela was still alive . . . apparently, Mandela negotiated with the whites by himself. Chaive chikuru kwaari yaive freedom yekubuda mujeri achikanganwa kuti zvikuru ndeizvo zvaakaendeserwa kujeri (Apparently Mandela viewed his release from jail as more important but forgetting about how he had been jailed in the first place)," Mugabe said.
Mugabe said Mandela insisted going alone to negotiate with the apartheid government.
