Robert Mugabe has been officially sworn in as Zimbabwe's President for a new five year term.
The 89 year-old was inaugurated for the 7th time at the country's largest sports stadium.
But political opponents and foreign leaders largely stayed away, amid concerns last month's general election was rigged. During his speech, Robert Mugabe described western nations who doubt the polling process as "vile".
Wilf Mbanga - Editor of the Zimbabwean Newspaper - tells Premier's Des Busteed the Church of England should be condemning the result:
