Zim (state owned) media threatens gov't says Tsvangirai

from Bloomberg news:


Sept. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Zimbabwe’s state media is publishing “vicious propaganda” that threatens the country’s power-sharing government, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai said.

“The political climate continues to be marred by unfortunate and vicious propaganda that emanates from the state media,” Tsvangirai said in a statement marking the first anniversary of the power-sharing agreement. It “presents a real and credible threat to this inclusive government and its ability to impact positively on the lives of all Zimbabweans.”


MDC lawmakers continue to be persecuted and prosecuted through a “selective application of the rule of law,” Tsvangirai said in his statement. There is a “deliberately slow pace” to improving human rights, he added.
