Mugabe plans like 'looting'
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's main rival has denounced his plans to nationalise foreign-owned firms as "looting and plunder" by a greedy elite.
In a statement for Zimbabwe's 31st independence anniversary, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai dismissed as "empty rhetoric" a drive by Mugabe's ZANU-PF party to force foreign companies to transfer majority shareholding to local blacks.
"Now thirty years after independence, we are being told by multi-millionaires and multiple farm owners that indigenisation will set us free," Tsvangirai said.
