Former Zimbabwean Minister of Information, Jonathan Moyo hints on Zimbabwe's election readines

The former Minister of Information in Zimbabwe, Jonathan Moyo, says the judiciary in that country must not make judgements based on the political climate.

Moyo spoke to SABC News about the continued incarceration of the Member of Parliament, Job Sikhala.

Moyo says the opposition is weak ahead of presidential and parliamentary elections in Zimbabwe in August.

He has also defended the controversial Patriotic Bill that was recently passed by parliament in Zimbabwe.

Opposition parties and human rights activists say the bill is aimed at silencing those who criticised the Zimbabwean government.
