Don’t sell your birthright, ED exhorts media

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa yesterday warned journalists against “selling their motherland for little pieces of silver” ahead of this year’s general elections.

Speaking during the burial of former Cabinet minister Christopher Mushohwe at the National Heroes Acre in Harare, Mnangagwa said the media has a significant role to play during and after elections.

“This is the only Zimbabwe we have; this is our motherland and media practitioners must never sell our birthright for a few pieces of silver,” he said.
