Unreported World: Standing Up to Mugabe

Series 34, episode 0

Reporter Seyi Rhodes and director Lottie Gammon visit Zimbabwe to meet the brave - and very funny - comics who are risking their security by satirising the country's politicians. President Robert Mugabe's regime has brutally suppressed opponents and critics, and the state media acts as a government mouthpiece, but the internet has provided an outlet for a growing band of comics and satirists. Robert Mugabe's inner circle in the Zanu PF party is battling to be in charge when the ageing President dies or leaves office.
