Tsvangirai fears Highlands home bugged

Opposition  leader Morgan Tsvangirai fears his Highlands mansion has been bugged following last month's raid by the assistant sheriff of the High Court and police officers in an attempt to seize property.

The former prime minister said that he feared police and the intelligence were eavesdropping on his conversations after allegedly installing recording devices in particular parts of the house.

The long-time opposition leader said the developments over the past few weeks were surprising and that he was looking to pay a specialist security firm to "sweep" for electronic recording devices after credible fears that his house had been compromised.
