Tsvangirai blasts BAZ over radio licences

Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai on Wednesday said the Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe (BAZ) board would be reconstituted while condemning the short-listing of those already controlling the print media for issuance of radio licences.

This was in apparent reference to the government-controlled publishing house, Zimpapers. Zimpapers are the publishers of The Herald, The Sunday Mail, Chronicle, Manica Post, Sunday News, H Metro and B Hetro and Kwayedza among a host of other publications including magazines.
