The behaviour of Dep Finance minister Terence Mukupe is getting out of hand.Just a few minutes ago,he abruptly abandoned a live radio interview on SFM.The last sound was from NewsDay journalist Blessed Mhlanga asking: "But minister,why would you assault me in a whole studio?"

Mukupe had earlier in the day mocked opposition politician, Tendai Biti, for being HIV positive, during another radio programme at StarFM.
