Parly discusses Zuma attacks

Deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara told parliamentarians this week there were clear-cut diplomatic channels to be followed when conducting government-to-government business and said it was wrong for officials to use newspapers and other media to attack other countries.

Mutambara said this in the House of Assembly during the question and answer session while responding to questions from an MDC-T MP who wanted him to explain government policy pertaining to communication between governments in the Sadc region.

Chipinge East MP Mathias Mlambo had asked Mutambara whether it was permissible for state-owned newspapers to denigrate Sadc leaders.
