Last week on Good Morning Zimbabwe, presenters made remarks
that sought to place blame on King Lobengula for colonialism.
Government is on record that there is no place for
tribalism in the country and the media must be used as a medium to unite
people.
In a statement, ZBC said action will be taken against those
found on the wrong side.
“The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) extends its
apologies to the people of Zimbabwe, and its audiences regarding the
inappropriate remarks made by the presenters of Good Morning Zimbabwe on
Wednesday, 3rd January 2024,” reads part of the statement.
“The National Broadcaster places it on record that the said
remarks do not represent the views of the ZBC. ZBC holds great respect for all
the people of Zimbabwe, as well as the valorous history of our forefathers in
defending their land, humanity, and dignity.
“Furthermore, ZBC assures the nation that it upholds a
comprehensive Editorial Policy that places national interests at the forefront
of all content.
“Concurrently, appropriate disciplinary measures are being
taken against any individuals found to have violated the Standard Operating
Procedures and Editorial Policy of the national broadcaster,” said ZBC in a
statement. Herald
