Police should thoroughly investigate Tsvangirai on fraud - Mugabe

President Mugabe has said police should thoroughly investigate allegations that Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai was involved in fraudulent activities when he bought a house set to be his official residence.

In a wide-ranging interview with ZBC last night ahead of his 88th birthday today, the President said police should not rush their investigations.

"What we don't want is people getting arrested on the basis of evidence which is not clear and on the basis of facts which have not been thoroughly investigated.

The police must investigate these cases thoroughly so that by the time they get to the stage of building a case and taking it to the court, they are quite sure that they have a case against the particular individual to who it relates but just rushing to build a case against somebody doesn't do us good at all.

If anything it harms our reputation and I hope they have investigated the matter thoroughly not just rush to make up things against the Prime Minister."

President Mugabe said he knew of the case through the media.

He also dismissed of clashes between him and PM saying his relation with the PM had become very peaceful over the years.
