Chairman of Alpha Media Holdings (AMH), Trevor Ncube, Thursday said Jonathan Moyo (who recently published a damning article about Ncube's media house) hates the fact that AMH publications keep reminding the public about his past writings hence his recent rantings.
Ncube dismissed Moyo's allegations that AMH was a British-funded political tool of regime change, adding the birth and phenomenal growth of the company was a result of hard work and meticulous planning NewsDay Online reported on Friday.
Ncube said AMH was a private company which operated within the country's laws and had, like other companies, strived to weather the economic and political storm that destroyed the efforts of many Zimbabweans.
He said AMH had in the last three years achieved phenomenal success which was given impetus by the launch of NewsDay last year.
Moyo's recent attacks on the person of Ncube, AMH and on the company staff served as further evidence of the former Information minister's intolerance of facts and his penchant for verbal abuse, the AMH chairman said.
"People like Jonathan Moyo will not allow facts to get in the way of their cheap propaganda. The other issue that clearly upsets Moyo is that the articles he has written over the years have been reproduced in the Zimbabwe Independent as evidence of his being an unprincipled and opportunistic character.
"He hates the fact that our papers are exposing him as the unprincipled and inconsistent character that he is. He hates his writings of five years ago. You remind him of this and he unleashes his venom on you," Ncube said.
"Instead of advancing his views by force of facts and argument, Moyo resorts to hurling insults. Unfortunately insults put people off and don't win hearts and minds," Ncube said.
Professor Jonathan Moyo's article questioned if Trevor Ncube's Zimbabwe Independent has gone to the dogs.
"Has Trevor Ncube's floundering Zimbabwe Independent gone to the dogs to the point of unashamedly becoming a pathetic MDC-T pamphlet in a desperate bid to secure a good chunk of the three million dirty pounds that the British government started smuggling last month through Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's office to finance treacherously malleable media organisations and NGOs to influence the outcome of the forthcoming harmonised presidential, parliamentary and local government elections as part of the ill-fated regime change agenda of the UK, US, EU and their puppets?" asked Prof Moyo
