Jonathan Moyo tore down into commercial radio station ZiFM Stereo after the station pulled out of an interview that it had granted him to discuss a government scholarship programme.

Moyo alleged that political hands were behind the station's last-minute decision to withdraw the offer to host him in an interview.

But ZiFM vehemently denied the claims that it had banned Moyo from its station at the behest of George Charamba, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information. Moyo accused ZiFM of postponing the program, falsely citing a clash of schedules.

Charamba was also accused of gagging ZiFM after fearing that Moyo would stray from the STEM agenda and start discussing Zanu-PF's succession wars.

This comes after Charamba was given an interview with the same radio station in which he attacked Moyo.
