Dear all,
Since the last AMB in 2010 formerly banned newspapers have re-appeared and
new publications have hit the streets, two private radio stations have been
licensed - but still have to go on air and the self-regulatory mechanisms of
the (private) media have been strengthened. On the downside, however, the
airwaves are still monopolised under the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation,
no community radios have been allowed licenses and in September 2012 a
statutory media council was officially launched. A worrying tendency in the
face of pending elections is also the fear that threats to freedom of
expression might again increase in severity prior to elections when the
polarisation of Zimbabwean society becomes very visible. This has to be seen
in the context that the country remains deeply polarised between the two
major political forces which hamper necessary reforms in many political and
social sectors even if some progress has been made in regard to the economy.
Please find attached the AMB Zimbabwe 2012 or check it out on our website
where you can find more AMBs!
