I love watching CNN's African Voices, yes, in part because its host Isha Sesay's beauty helps to balance the horrors and sad stories they sometimes cover but also because those stories remind me each week how hard we have to work as a continent. This weekend there is an even better reason to tune in to the programme- Isha will be talking to our very own Prime Minister, Hon Morgan Tsvangirai.

Hon Morgan Tsvangirai
Zimbabwean Prime Minister

Tsvangirai will talks about his childhood in a small village and eight brothers and sisters, and what inspired his political consciousness. He describes the hard
work in the mine and with the trade unions, to the romance of love at first sight when he met his wife, Susan.

Tsvangirai discusses his early political career, his subsequent disillusionment with ZANU PF in the ‘80s, from thinking of Robert Mugabe as his hero, and the shock at the transformation and deterioration of his leadership. He speaks about representing the real working classes through his party the MDC, keeping the faith through the years, and the circumstances that led to the Unity Government.

Tune in and hear about his hopes and fears for the future of his country, the role of the international community, and the evolution of Zimbabwe.
