Zimbabwe Human Rights Association congratulates Njabulo Ncube, Assistant Editor of the Financial Gazette and Kumbirai Mafunda of the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights for scooping the Media Institute of Southern Africa Zimbabwe (MISA) Chairmanship and Deputy positions respectively.

The acknowledgement also extends to Kelvin Jakachira, the political editor of Newsday and Lifaqane Nare from Zimbabwe Union of Journalist in Bulawayo who came in as committee members.

Their uncontested election demonstrates partners' appreciated of their hard work in championing for the opening up and sustenance of unlimited media sources. In particular, the preferential treatment is an acknowledgement of the value that they put in information abundance as a human right that leads to the enjoyment of other rights. We hope that they will remain committed and true on the duty bestowed upon them by the electorate in the next five years in office, while acknowledging the work done by, Loughty Dube, former Newsday editor and outgoing chairman.
