Visitors at show STORYLINE: Zimbabwe's president Robert Mugabe visited Harare's annual Agricultural show on Friday, as Roman Catholic bishops accused his government of making "crude attempts" to divert attention from the nation's political and economic crisis. Despite massive food shortages in the country, the livestock exhibit at the show included pigs, sheep, guinea fowl and chickens, and was the biggest for several years. Mugabe had a dozen cattle on show from his Gushungo farm in his home district in Zvimba, 50 kilometres, or 30 miles, southwest of Harare. He toured the agricultural show with Equatorial Guinea's president Teodoro Obiang Nguema. Zimbabwe and oil-rich Equatorial Guinea in West Africa have signed an extradition treaty and a series of trade and cooperation deals. The two countries' links came after a group of mercenaries plotting to overthrow Obiang were arrested in 2004 when their plane landed in Harare to collect weapons from the Zimbabwe state arms maker. The official theme for the show this year was the revival of farming after seven years of political and economic turmoil. The turmoil came after the often-violent seizures of thousands of white-owned commercial farms that began in 2000 and disrupted the agriculture-based economy. Meanwhile Catholic Bishops spoke out against the publicising of allegations of adultery against Archbishop Pius Ncube, an outspoken critic of President Robert Mugabe. In July, state media showed explicit images allegedly taken with a hidden camera in Ncube's bedroom and purportedly showing him with a woman with whom he was accused of having an affair. The Catholic Bishops Conference defended Ncube, the archbishop of Bulawayo, saying he had shown courage, moral authority and fearlessness in exposing massacres by government troops in the western Matabeleland province. The massacres occurred during an armed rebellion after independence in 1980 and in a brutal countrywide slum clearance operation in 2005. The bishops also said the fundamental rights of ordinary Zimbabweans were being violated daily with impunity. They said that the government's economic policies left shelves bare of food and basic goods, corruption and mismanagement was rife and tens of thousands of citizens risked their lives illegally crossing the nation's borders to flee. In June, the government ordered price reductions of about half on all goods and services in a bid to tame official inflation of 7,634 percent, the highest in the world. Independent estimates put real inflation at closer to 25,000 percent, and the International Monetary Fund has forecast it reaching 100,000 percent by the end of the year.
