@nickmangwana Does the state own media?

We are coming up with a Statutory Instrument to stop Medical Aids from also providing services, as there is a serious conflict of interest threatening the existence of independent medical practice in Zimbabwe. Being the insurer and the provider has resulted in numerous challenges that we seek to correct. Some medical aids are fighting this SI by hook and crook because they have been benefitting from the clear conflict of interest and anti-competitive nature of this arrangement. We notice that the state media seems to have been dragged into this and have not even cared to hear the Govt’s side. We are very disappointed to say the least. Furthermore, on the question of authorship: an opinion must have an author. How can we have an opinion that is said to be done by a "correspondent"? Whose opinion is that? That would make readers believe it is the paper's opinion or a corporate-sponsored opinion. State Media has a responsibility to refuse to publish such. When a "correspondent" is listed instead of a named individual, the reader cannot assess bias, motive, or accountability. Is it the newspaper speaking? A hired public relations firm? An anonymous corporate interest? In matters of public health policy, where billions of dollars and the viability of independent medical practice hang in the balance, anonymity is unacceptable. State Media, in particular, has a duty to model transparency. Publishing unattributed opinions as if they were news or editorial consensus deceives the public and undermines trust. If an opinion is worth publishing, it is worth signing. Govt insists on this principle, and State Media should refuse to publish any opinion piece that hides behind the vague label of "correspondent." heraldonline.co.zw/opinion-zimbab…

@akorokoafrica The should have created an agency outside ZBC to manage that fund

Zimbabwe Confirms USD $10 million for Public Film and Television Commissioning in 2026 The news follows a late 2024 announcement, when the government published a national film strategy covering 2025 to 2030. The funds sit inside the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation’s 2026 budget for local content. Only local producers who meet formal registration and regulatory compliance rules qualify. What remains unknown is how content will be commissioned in practice. What to watch: whether the process will be implemented consistently and transparently. Past screen sector promises in Zimbabwe did not always materialize. #ZimbabweFilm #AfricanCinema #PublicBroadcasting #FilmPolicy

“People just pretend not to like my music, for political reasons. But they’re still dancing...” Simon Chimbetu speaking to journalist Foster Dongozi, 2003. 😀 It’s been 20 years since he died on this day, Aug 14, 2005! One of the true, absolute Zim music legends! Easy! 🙏🏾

“I’ll be 70 next year. And I’m not here to impress anyone. I’ve been the champion. I’ve been the villain. I’ve had gold around my waist and nothing in my soul. Now? I just want peace. Everything else is noise.” I grew up where love was tough and fists were currency. I didn’t learn kindness — I learned survival. By 13, I was arrested 38 times. By 20, I was the youngest heavyweight champion in history. They called me “Iron Mike” — like I wasn’t supposed to bleed. I had money, fame, mansions, tigers, private jets… But I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t breathe. The world saw knockouts. I saw ghosts. At 40, I started asking better questions. Not “how do I win?” But “why was I always fighting in the first place?” And the truth? I wasn’t fighting the other guy. I was fighting myself. My fear. My father’s silence. My mother’s pain. My own shame. Now, at 70, I’m not chasing anything. I grow mushrooms. I hug my pigeons. I walk barefoot on grass and cry sometimes for no reason at all. I talk more about forgiveness than uppercuts. I don’t need the belt. I don’t need the roar of a crowd. I just want to eat good fruit, tell the truth, and die knowing I broke the cycle. If you want to know what greatness is — it’s not dominance. It’s healing. It’s walking away from the thing that used to destroy you — and choosing not to destroy others with it". — Mike Tyson
