@InfoMinZW @nickmangwana @OSISA @263Chat @UKinZimbabwe @usembassyharare @euinzim @mailandguardian @CPJAfrica Makufa was only released when he produced his press accreditation card. Police on the scene refused to identify the officer who assaulted him. They only said the perpetrator was from the Law and Order Section.

@InfoMinZW @nickmangwana @OSISA @263Chat @UKinZimbabwe @usembassyharare @euinzim @mailandguardian @CPJAfrica Position: @misazimbabwe is greatly concerned with the seeming increase in the number of cases where police officers assault media practitioners conducting their journalistic work.

@InfoMinZW @nickmangwana @OSISA @263Chat @UKinZimbabwe @usembassyharare @euinzim @mailandguardian @CPJAfrica We, therefore, take this opportunity to remind the police that it is not a crime to photograph or film police operations in public areas.

@InfoMinZW @nickmangwana @OSISA @263Chat @UKinZimbabwe @usembassyharare @euinzim @mailandguardian @CPJAfrica Such actions amount to unwarranted and unjustifiable censorship of the media.

Happening Now: What is a community radio station?

Join the conversation with @donald_mukota and @ZacrasOnline- @johnchirinda and Pelargia Kapuya tonight on the #DeepDive on @capitalkfm

#mediareformsnow #AIPPAandBSAMustFall
@donald_mukota @ZacrasOnline @JohnChirinda @capitalkfm Chirinda says the community radio initiatives are not breaking the law, they are however initiatives in a state of preparedness to be licensed to become radio stations. These initiatives are alternative methods to share information with communities.

@PatsakaCRI @ZacrasOnline
@donald_mukota @ZacrasOnline @JohnChirinda @capitalkfm @PatsakaCRI Communities should be primarily responsible for setting up radio stations. Govt is not meant to be a player in the running radio stations but regulators- Kapuya says

Wide debate on #eprivacy right now. I see a lot of misunderstandings, let me clarify a few things (& further info: bit.ly/2i99Kd5)
Should I not be asked before my emails are accessed and used? Don't you think the same? Is this asking too much? #eprivacy
New #eprivacy rules = more flexibility for all businesses to process communication data w/ user consent. Under current rules #telecoms can't
