ZANU-PF activists one of them claiming to be a son of a local
chief in Bikita's Maregere village on Thursday harassed a group of
journalists who had gone on a United Nations mission-field visit to
investigate children's issues in the area.
The middle aged man, approached journalists who were interviewing local
people and demanded that they should present themselves to him first before
talking to the community.
He said no issues concerning rights of the children were supposed to be
discussed with local people who are not members of the parliament led
constitution making process.
"Where are you coming from and who gave you the permission to talk to my
people without my knowledge?; which media organizations do you work for?,"
he asked, before journalists said they were coming from the state controlled
newspaper Herald and Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation.
Two members of the ZANU PF militia join the slogan-chanting youths.
"Are you sure that you are all from the Herald and ZBC?, he reiterated
before a senior official from the ministry of Information and Publicity,
Regis Chikowore intervened and told him that he was a government official
accompanying the journalists.
