By The Editor Ross Moyo
The Zimbabwe Government has told journalists not to be more political than the politicians themselves ahead of the 23 August watershed elections to be held in less than a week from now.This was said by deputy government spokesperson at Sterling Boutique in Hogart, Harare during a session hosting diplomats who are international election observers, the media, industry and all political and business stakeholders.

Speaking exclusively to TechMag TV and TechnoMag on the sidelines of a rebranding Zimbabwe exercise by Zimbabwe Institute for Strategic Thinking hosting international observers and the media present, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services deputy minister Kindness Paradza told journalists to “stop being more political than themselves the politicians” and wait for the political players to politic against each other and not for the media to be used in the politicking.

Deputy Minister Paradza also denied any knowledge of any foreign journalists denied accreditation saying his Ministry does not accredit but only facilitates the accreditation of journalists.

Quizzed by this reporter Paradza nevertheless caved in admitting “only one or two journalists have been denied entry specifically one from voice of America only as a technicality,” adding that it “however does not make a difference because Voice of America has stringers all over the country who will still cover their news.
