South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu has criticised Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe calling him a "caricature" of an African leader.
"He's almost a caricature of all the things people think black African leaders do. He seems to be wanting to make a cartoon of himself," Tutu was quoted as saying. "I know that when he joined the struggle he was an idealistic man. Now I think he's become increasingly insecure, and because he's insecure he's hitting out."
"One just wants to weep, it's very sad," Tutu said.
