10 Jan 2016 at 09:20hrs | Views
Media, Information and Broadcasting Services minister Chris Mushohwe is set to visit privately owned Alpha Media Holdings on Monday on a familiarisation tour.
The visit comes days after the arrest of AMH reporters last week.
The trio, NewsDay deputy editor Nqaba Matshazi, reporter Xolisani Ncube and legal secretary Sifikile Thabethe were charged for allegedly publishing falsehoods following the publication of a story alleging that Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) operatives had been paid bonuses secretly.
Of late Mushohwe has been critical of the private press.
Late December he issued a chilling warning on journalists against tampering "with sacred forests of security sector."
He said "If you enter a river infested with crocodiles what do you think will happen to you?"
According to an AMH internal memo leaked to Bulawayo24.com, Mushowe will tour the firm on Monday.
Below is the full notice :
Dear Team,
Please be advised that Minister Mushohwe will pay AMH a visit on Monday morning at a time to be confirmed. With his team he will meet with management and then tour the premises.
We look forward to hosting his team.
Best wishes,
