| Mr. Alistair
MacNeilage versus TechZim Technology Zimbabwe |
Mr
Alistair McNeilage filed a complaint with the Media Complaints
Committee against Techzim Technology Zimbabwe over a story published
on their website (www.techzim.co.zw)
of 22 August 2012 headlined, "Two Econet Facebook Pages.
The more popular one is fake".
Mr
MacNeilage claims that the article made false allegations about
his company Communication Twenty Four Seven. He further states
that the contents of the article about his company were totally
untrue and baseless. Mr. MacNeilage wants TechZim Technology
Zimbabwe to retract the article in question.

Resolved
and Awaiting Finalisation
The matter was adjudicated on and a decision taken and is now
awaiting finalisation.
The VMCZ Media Complaints Committee convened
a hearing on Thursday 1 November 2012. After both parties
had made representations on the matter the Media Complaints
Committee with concurrence from both parties ruled that Techzim
Technology Zimbabwe should accord Mr McNeilage and Communication
Twenty Four Seven a right of reply and a news article with
Mr McNeilage's response should be published on their
website by Friday 09, November 2012.
