Zimbabwe's president Robert Mugabe
has sparked an angry protest in Jamaica after he reportedly said that
their men were only interested in smoking dope and singing all day.
Mr Mugabe, 88, is said to have made the undiplomatic comments in an unscripted aside during a three-hour
speech at a research exposition in
Harare. "In Jamaica, they have freedom to smoke cannabis, the men are
always high and universities are full of women," he is reported by the
Zimbabwean Daily News to have said.Mr Mugabe, 88, is said to have made the undiplomatic comments in an unscripted aside during a three-hour
"The men want to sing and do
not go to colleges, some of them twist their hair. Let us not go
there." he added.
The comments provoked fierce debate in the Jamaican papers and
on radio chat shows, and brought criticism from the country's foreign
minister who insisted his countrymen were "law abiding".
