HARARE – Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has castigated leaders within his party Zanu PF for turning into moles supplying news to the private media, saying they must leave the party or risk expulsion.
Headlines screaming of factionalism, infighting and sicknesses within the first family have often featured in the private press, leaving the world to wonder the exact source of the insistent intimate details. |
| President Robert Mugabe Warns Moles: “Let Them Get Out Of The Party…” |
“The Private press do not attend our Politburo meetings. The private press are not members of the Central Committee. I don’t recall appointing anyone from their number as my Minister of Government.”
The independent press fronted by Newsday, Standard and Daily News have received recurrent scorn from the government for their lack of patriotism.
“They don’t seat in my Cabinet. Yet all matters placed before all those key organs of the party and Government find their way to private press newsrooms. Who is feeding them? It is some of us, leaders and office bearers, both in the party and in Government. To what end? To achieve what?”
Dr Christopher Mushowe, the incumbent information minister earlier on castigated these spies during a press conference addressing media practitioners in Harare.
“… When I challenged them (private media) about the negative stories that come up often in their publications, told me that most of those stories were being planted by some of our own leaders pursuing personal agendas.”
Mushowe is the direct replacement to Professor Jonathan Moyo who instigated media laws during his tenure before being fired and then later recalled into government. The recent revelation exonerates private media often labelled as enemy of the state for opting on the negative.
“We have seen the proliferation of little organisations that act and speak in the name of the party. They do not exist in our structures, are unknown to the leadership and certainly do not espouse the ideology of our party, let alone its values,” said President Mugabe at the just-concluded party conference in Victoria Falls.
