Dali loses his cool over Kieno's comments

4 Jun 2013

NEWSWATCH: Dali Tambo, responding to CapeTalk567 radio presenter Kieno Kammies' dismissal of Tambo's Mugabe interview as little more than a PR exercise, abandoned his usually measured responses and upped the volume somewhat, reports Mail & Guardian.

Mail & Guardian: defends 'People of the South' interview with Mugabe... But he wasn't exactly charmed with Kammies' comments regarding the interview and Mail & Guardian reports him as shouting: "What do you mean a PR exercise? What you wanted me to do was to say to him, 'you're lying, Robert Mugabe you're a liar. That's not true, how dare you say that? You're a bloody liar'."
As Tambo has pointed out, his show isn't supposed to be like the BBC's HARDtalk. So true... on that show those being interviewed can expect to be on the receiving end of questions they would rather not have to answer, but Tambo's show is of course very different.
But wouldn't it be nice to have Mugabe on the receiving end for once?
