After blowing �3 million on his daughter�s wedding earlier this month, Zimbabwe�s firebrand president Robert Mugabe is set to ask his country�s hard-up treasury for a pay rise next month. The defiant leader, who has ruled Zimbabwe since leading the country to independence from Britain in 1980, is set to get an increase despite not delivering on his election promise to raise the salaries of public sector workers. Most workers earn around �200 a month.
