PRETORIA - The Friends of Zimbabwe Coalition has set up a media forum that will act as a media watch for all socio-economic and political developments taking place in Zimbabwe.
The Media Forum’s Organizing Secretary, Nowell Marufu, a Zimbabwean journalist living in exile in South Africa, said the new body had been necessitated by the need to create a space where all concerned friends of Zimbabwe could air their views with respect to redressing the deteriorating situation in Zimbabwe.
“We have set up the forum to facilitate public discourse on all matters that are affecting Zimbabwe, and it is our sincere hope that all Zimbabweans at home and in the Diaspora will make use of this platform on how best we can help Zimbabwe out of the many crises that are bedeviling the country,” said Marufu.
The Organizing Secretary indicated that they would liaise strongly with partners in the print media and some Zimbabwean websites.
“Zimbabweans have to make use of this forum if they intend to have their concerns heard, and we encourage all those who have some positive comments to help re-build the image of Zimbabwe to come forward and utilize this space,” said Marufu. - CAJ News
