@DanielM00404080 @nickmangwana Someone had to say it. While this specific show is quiet fun, it is difficult to listen to because the slot falls right at school run. They may have to tone down on sexual innuendo & the like humor . Certainly not so suitable at lunch time radio.

DUTY TO PROTECT CHILDREN AND UPHOLD
NATIONAL VALUES IN DIGITAL BROADCASTING

“The Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe wishes to inform the public that it has taken note, with serious concern, of the dissemination of explicit digital content by some social media content creators, content which is accessible to audiences within Zimbabwe, including children.
The Authority reiterates that all broadcasting and digital content consumed within Zimbabwe is subject to the country’s legal and constitutional framework, irrespective of the platform through which such content is distributed. Inasmuch as the freedom of expression is available for enjoyment by all Zimbabweans in terms of Section 61 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, suchenjoyment must be responsible, and with due regard to the rights of others as stated under Section 86 of the Constitution.    
In terms of the Broadcasting Services Act [Chapter 12:06], children have a right to protection from exposure to content that is harmful to their moral and psychological development, with the best interests of the child being paramount.
Moreover, the Censorship and Entertainment Control Act [Chapter 10:04] prohibits the dissemination of content that isindecent or obscene or is offensive or harmful to public morals. Broadcasters and content creators must therefore uphold public morality and national values as entrenched in the laws of Zimbabwe.
The Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe will not permit the misuse of digital platforms in a manner that violates the Constitution, national laws, or the collective moral standards of the nation. Content creators are reminded of their legal and ethical responsibility to ensure that their material complies with Zimbabwean laws and respects the rights and dignity of all citizens, especially children.
The Authority will, in the discharge of its constitutional and statutory mandate, take appropriate enforcement measures to ensure compliance and to safeguard the public interest. Government remains committed to preserving the moral fabric of the nation and to protecting children from harmful digital content.

Eng. Matthias Chakanyuka
A/Chief Executive Officer
Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe “

Dr Nathan Shamuyarira told me that when Strive Masiyiwa came up with the idea for econet, some ministers in Mugabe’s government laughed at the idea and argued that Zimbabwe didn’t need a “silly idea like that.”

He told me that they argued that what was needed was to expand the roll out of landlines to the people.

“Why should we have mobile phones when people in Mutoko and Chivi don’t have a real home phone,” they argued.

One of Strive Masiyiwa’s partners, Dr Daniel Shumba sold his shareholding in Econet and started a landline company called Tele Access hoping to make millions of money.

As we all know very few of you reading this tweet has a landline.
I have a landline in my home but it has never rang for 2 years.

Strive Masiyiwa was thinking ahead of most Zimbabweans at the time, and he was proved right laughed Dr Shamuyarira as we drank tea outside his home.

He was being told to focus on the basic issues and problems that faced Zimbabwe at the time and not waste time on a fancy technology for rich countries called a mobile phone, said Dr Shamuyarira.

I am saying this after some of the responses I read on my tweet on electric cars.

Some people say that we should solve basic things like healthcare first.
But what is there to solve in healthcare?

We don’t have a healthcare problem, we have a corruption problem.
So should everything else stop because ZANUPF is corrupt?

Some say we don’t have enough electricity, we actually do.
The only problem is that we don’t have a competent government that distributes electricity by allowing private actors in the industry and stop looting.

You see, our people have now become so used and conditioned to mediocrity such that they argue to maintain it, and that is what corrupt politicians want.m to hear.

A child who was born in a Harare with boreholes doesn’t really think that clean running water is a necessity because they were born into the mediocrity of boreholes.

A small country like Rwanda has an Electric Car policy, and it has targets of how many electric cars it must have by 2030.

Yet a bigger economy like Zimbabwe has its citizens thinking that Electric Cars are a far fetched idea.

It costs US$14 to get a full charge for an electric car, and it costs US$100 or more to get a full tank of petrol or diesel.

Someone like myself who is now off grid won’t pay a penny towards the charging of such cars because we are generating our own energy, most of which goes to worst because we are generating more than we need.

Surely with those comparisons, is it not worth allowing those who can afford electric cars to bring them duty free to save the country from importing any amount of fuel and let that money go to other areas?

Do you really think that because ZANUPF is stealing money for radiotherapy machines, we shouldn’t therefore think about ideas that enhance the quality of life for all gradually?

One electric car reduced emissions into the atmosphere, doesn’t that matter to you?

The EU will officially ban the sale of new passenger cars and vans using internal combustion engines (ICE) from 2035, after the European Council adopted the proposal this year.

Japan plans to ban the sale of fuel vehicles too in 2035 too.

Where do we buy our cars at the moment, is it not mostly Europe and of course Japan?

Do we want to wait until this ban comes into effect for us to start doing something about this?

I didn’t say ban internal combustion engines in Zimbabwe today, I said let us start facilitating the migration for those who can afford it!

[cyprian chabvepi @cyprianch]

@nigelchanakira Hmmmm 🤔. Whatever the reason, this is retrogressive. What has happened to openness and accountability! What about constitutionally entrenched rights, access to information? Its not easy to explain away this, "national interest"..

@Hon_Kasukuwere @DenhereTaona Africa needs more progressive gvts that are willing to view innovation, new thought and novel private projects as purely developmental and not always as a challenge to power or authority! Investment & capital might flow in that context. @BusisaMoyo @nigelchanakira @IOD_Zimbabwe

One of the requirements of a cashless society is reliability of the underlying technology. This makes the public want to revert to notes and coins. https://t.co/VycZP0kZWO

Africans can do it differently and more intentionally knowing the bricks they lay, the industries they create, could be for a thousand years. It’s called the LAW of HORIZON. Not everything we do is consumed, appreciated or valued today…🎁👍🏽📌

This is the tragic nightmare today at Zimbabwe’s passport office in Harare, as citizens battle to get the elusive travel document.

Due to the ruling party corrupt rule, incompetence and the looting of public funds, Zimbabwe embarrassingly is failing to produce passports on time!

[Hopewell Chin’ono @daddyhope]
