Mugabe angry over Gono attacks

President Mugabe yesterday attacked the State media for using extraordinary measures to impose a media blackout on retired Reserve Bank governor Gideon Gono, saying he would kick out those responsible.

Mugabe was speaking after touring Gono's highly-mechanised Donnington Farm in Norton.

He said the "press" has embarked on a campaign to stifle Gono, which he said started with unofficial censorship and self-censorship, and quickly evolved into open gagging of the Senator designate by State media outlets.
