VMCZ Slams Chronicle for unethical conduct


Voluntary Media Council of Zimbabwe (VMCZ) projects officer Loft Dube has slammed the Chronicle for repeated unethical conduct.

Speaking at a media conference in Bulawayo, Dube said the ZBC and Chronicle should be critical of ZANU-PF rather than to rubber stamp it.

“ZBC should fairly cover issues rather than rubber stamp ZANU-PF,” Dube said. “This increases tension and hostility in the post election period.”

The objection by the ombudsmen comes at a period when once again the Chronicle has reiterated on sanctions, taking it to be their lead story.

“I think this sanctions thing is nothing but a ZANU-PF political gimmick to obscure us from the real situation,” said Brian Sibanda, a regular Chronicle reader.

Research has revealed that it has become a tendency that once in a while, the state media reiterates on sanctions, blaming on them while forgetting the role that the sitting government should play.
