At #SAMS2026, our Executive Director @bchinowawa spoke about the case of Zimbabwe Independent Editor @Faye_Zaba, who was arrested in July 2025 over a satirical Muckraker column & charged with contravening section 33 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act for allegedly undermining the authority of or insulting the President. Zaba spent some days in custody & the criminal proceedings then continued for almost one year until the High Court quashed the charges in June 2026 & removed her & Alpha Media Holdings from remand.

@bchinowawa said "That is a useful case for discussing the distinction between the final legal outcome and the lived impact of prosecution. The High Court outcome protected press freedom. But for almost a year she faced the legal expense and reputational burden of criminal proceedings over political satire. Satire is supposed to discomfort power and a democracy should be very cautious about converting that discomfort into a criminal case."

#SouthernAfricaMediaSummit

[WELEAD Africa @weleadteam]

🇿🇼 Young Zimbabweans represented us at the Southern Africa Media Summit (SAMS), which we attended in partnership with @misazimbabwe , supported by @FranceZimbabwe and @CFImedias .

➡️At SAMS, youth played a vital role as panelists and exhibitors of our work.

🎯Among our exhibitors was @MaraparaSh37023 , who shared her experience:

🎤"In a time where misinformation and disinformation can spread faster than facts, information has become a powerful tool that can either strengthen communities or deepen divisions.

Young people, who are among the most active users of digital platforms, have a responsibility to challenge false narratives, verify information, and use their voices to promote justice, accountability, and social progress.

The summit reminded me that activism in the digital age requires not only passion but also knowledge, responsibility, and integrity.

Discussions on artificial intelligence and the future of media also highlighted the need for young people to actively engage with emerging technologies. Technology should not only be viewed as a space for entertainment but as a tool for empowerment, advocacy, and social change.

However, as we embrace innovation, we must also question how technology is being used, who benefits from it, and how we can ensure it does not silence vulnerable communities or widen existing inequalities."

➡️Stay tuned as we continue to share youth voices and experiences from various spaces they attend, learning, sharing their views, and contributing to a more effective world that works for them and future generations.

[ZLHR @ZLHRLawyers]

ZLHR In The News: Our Team Leader @bchinowawa is featured in @HStvNews' latest edition of Fate of the Nation. Chinowawa bemoans that the Kariba ferry tragedy raises very serious questions about the protection of the right to life and the state’s responsibility to protect people from foreseeable harm.

The human rights lawyer states that Zimbabwe already has laws intended to prevent precisely this type of tragedy such as the Inland and Shipping Act, which provides for the inspection and survey of vessels and regulates issues such as sea worthiness, passenger safety and the competence of those operating the vessels. Chinowawa asks whether those safeguards were actually being enforced before the tragedy happened.

Chinowawa says there is also a constitutional dimension to the Kariba ferry tragedy, as section 48 of the Constitution protects the right to life and section 44 of the Constitution places an obligation on the State and public institutions to respect, promote, promote and full fundamental rights and freedom.

Women in public life, parliamentarians & councillors, continue to face alarming psychological violence, harassment & gender-based threats. This silences voices & weakens our democracy. When women are safe & heard, we all move forward

Children in #Gaza, like all children, have the right to education.

Instead, they are out of school for a third year due to the war.

Let children go back to school.

#CeasefireNow

[United Nations @UN]

Dozens of Palestinians were killed while seeking UN aid in Gaza this weekend.

@antonioguterres has condemned the mass shootings and deaths, and reiterated his call for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages & unimpeded humanitarian access.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Peace is not built in conference rooms.

Peace is built in classrooms, in clinics, in communities.

Peace is built when people have hope, opportunity & a stake in their future.

Investing in development today means investing in a more peaceful tomorrow.
