Zimbabwe opposition parties blast Malema

Opposition parties have torn into South Africa's opposition EFF leader, Julius Malema for praising President Robert Mugabe, saying he has taken leave of his senses.

Malema this week said Mugabe is not to blame for the problems in Zimbabwe and that he and other African leaders, with the exception of South Africa should rule for as long as they like.

Obert Gutu, MDC spokesperson, laid into Malema branding him a man of unsound mind.

Kurauone Chihwayi, secretary for international relations for the Welshman Ncube led MDC described Malema's remarks as sickening.
