Government has extended the tenure of the Censorship Board after drafting in President Robert Mugabe's daughter- Bona Chikore.
As first reported by Bulawayo24.com on Monday, Home Affairs Minister Ignatius Chombo appointed a new board to be chaired by former Cabinet minister historian, Aeneas Chigwedere, deputised by Konzani Ncube.
The other members are Bona Chikore, police Senior Assistant Commissioner Charity Charamba, Runyararo Magadzire, Chief Nyamukoho Samson Katsande, Regis Chikowore, Shingai Rukwata Ndoro, Chenjerai Daitai, Tungamirai Muganhiri and catholic priest Father Fidelis Mukonori.
The board will serve for five years instead of the previous three.
"Our current Act limits the tenure of the term of the board to three years, it is the wish of His Excellency (President Mugabe) that we change that and that this board will serve for a period of five years so that they are able to really craft issues and implement them.
"Three years is a little bit too short for cultural issues and related matters".
