Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A Binga based journalist, Mujopeni Mudimba, has allegedly been receiving death threats from unknown people after he wrote a story about the displacement of villagers by a Chinese miner in the district.<\/p>\n

The Chinese company has been granted authority by the government to mine coal in that area.<\/p>\n

Mudimba was reportedly threatened over a story he wrote on the eviction of villagers in Ward 12 by the Chinese company.<\/p>\n

The journalist works for the recently licensed local community radio station, Twasumbuka Community Radio.<\/p>\n

According to the station manager, Bbaido Ndhlovu, Mudimba was threatened by an unknown person, who called him twice using a private number.<\/p>\n

The unknown caller reportedly warned Mudimba that he would rot in jail and also \u201cdie for nothing\u201d if he continues writing stories relating to the evictions.<\/p>\n

The Media Institute of Southern Africa (Misa Zimbabwe) on Tuesday condemned the harassment of the journalist. It said:<\/p>\n

Misa Zimbabwe strongly condemns any forms of media violations including threats and harassment of journalists.<\/p>\n

Journalists should be allowed to exercise their constitutional right to media freedom without fear<\/p>\n

Through its watchdog role, the media is allowed to voice and disseminate information on the concerns of communities in which they operate.<\/p>\n

Misa Zimbabwe, therefore, urges any persons aggrieved with a story published by any media institution or media practitioner, to approach the Voluntary Media Council of Zimbabwe or the Zimbabwe Media Commission for adjudication and redress.<\/p>\n
