The Zimbabwe Media Commission formed
Bulawayo Agenda
February 19, 2010

The Daily Agenda, published from Monday to Friday will provide information on critical governance and developmental issues. It is our hope that the information provided will be useful to our constituency of readership, particularly the leaders at the local level and civil society practitioners, in informing and shaping their choice of developmental objectives and initiatives.

Bulawayo - The Zimbabwe Chamber of Informal Economy Associations (ZCEIA) has called for the regulation and monitoring of the multi currency system used in Zimbabwe through economic watchdogs, as it has resulted in the public utilities charging high rates. They said that the unaffordable rates demanded by these institutions have a large bearing on the ability of consumers to pay for services rendered.

The Zimbabwe Media commission has finally been formally appointed. In a government gazette published last Friday, President Mugabe named the NUST Journalism Departmental Chairperson Nqobile Nyathi as the deputy chair with the commission to be chaired by former ZBC newscaster Godfrey Majonga. Media practitioners have welcomed the news although many have expressed skepticism on its ability to create a free and democratic space for media in Zimbabwe.
