A Zimbabwean businessman who now lives in Southend will be accused of land and farm invasions in a BBC radio broadcast on Sunday.

Stalin Mau Mau, who runs the Zim-Link shop, in Hamlet Court Road, Westcliff, will be one of two Zimbabwean nationals now living in Britain investigated in the programme for BBC Radio Five Live.

Controversy has followed Mr Mau Mau since he stood as an MP for Mugabe's Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front party. He denies the accusations.
