Tsvangirai attacks ZBC

BY Prosper Kutyauripo

The MDC T leader Morgan Tsvangirai last week attacked the public media for their bias towards the ruling party at a rally held in Mucheke Stadium B grounds in Masvingo where he launched the ‘no electoral reforms no elections’ campaign.

 Addressing thousands of party supporters Tsvangirai expressed dissatisfaction over the operations of the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) as he threw allegations that the national broadcaster is biased and only favors the ruling party while suppressing other opinions.

“Ungabva zuva richibuda kusvika zuva richinyura uchingotaura nyaya ye ZANU PF chete? Ko vamwe? Where are the other opinions? Hamunyare here?” Said the MDC T leader Morgan Tsvangirai.

Tsvangirai further went on to blame ZANU PF for personalizing public media to the extent that it is now used as tool to gain political expedience and as a megaphone for propaganda.

 “ZBC cannot be a ZANU broadcasting corporation and expect us to accept zvinhu zvakapusa kudaro?” said Tsvangirai.

He also advised and urged the media to remain neutral and warned them not to be champions of promoting divisions, violence and he warned all biased media outlets that one day they shall answer on their evil deeds.

“Let me warn all the media that if you are the champions of promoting divisions, violence, one day you shall answer what you were promoting.” said the MDC T leader.

He also poked the ZBC news crew by asking what they were doing at the rally since they never broadcast the news on television or on radio.

“I have been talking to the ZBC camera man and asked what he is doing here since they never broadcast the news on radio or on television,” said Tsvangirai.

In his concluding remarks, Tsvangirai urged the MDC T supporters to remain united and stay free from violence.

A 25 year old Chitungwiza man is in trouble after he demanded a kiss in the street from his ex-lover who is his neighbour but was turned down.

Paul Mukurakate is facing charges of sexually harassing his neighbour, Maidei Ndlovu.

The court heard that on April 3, Maidei was walking in her neighbourhood when Paul approached and started asking for a kiss.

According to H-Metro, Paul went on to propose love to her and started touching her body parts and insulting her.

That led to Maidei making a police report.

But in court, Paul said "I didn't commit any crime, she is no longer my girlfriend but on the day in question she was still my girlfriend.

"We broke up after that incident because relatives didn't approve of me". -Bulawayo 24

A 22-year old Marondera man who was caught pants down having a sexual act with a pig was yesterday slapped with a six month jail term by Marondera magistrate, Jabulani Mzinyathi who found him guilty of bestiality.

Tinashe Maswa, a gardenboy at Shaka Hills Farm in Igava, Marondera pleaded guilty to the charges and stunned the court gallery when he said that he wanted to 'have a feel' of the domestic animal.

He will however serve a four-month jail term after two months were set aside on condition of good behaviour.

According to court papers, on April 23 this year at around 1000hrs, the accused person proceeded to the farm pig sty where he selected a sow and had sex with it.

However, during the heinous act, the accused was seen by one Edward Vheremu, the one who is responsible for feeding the pigs.

Vheremu caught the accused engaging in sex with the pig while his trousers were unzipped and his overalls unbuttoned to waist level.

The accused person took some minutes doing the act while Vheremu kept on watching.

After realising that he was being watched, Maswa stopped the act, hid in the corner, put on his clothes, jumped over the sty and hid in the nearby bush.    - Bulawayo24
