Coltart castigates Zimpapers on Olympics coverage

David Coltart the MDC Senator who is also Zimbabwe's Minister of Education, Sport, Arts and Culture has criticised the London Olympics games coverage by the state controlled 'Zimpapers' saying he has not yet seen their journalist at any events that the Zimbabwe athletes have performed.

David Coltart (@DavidColtart)  said on Twitter yesterday:

"I have been to every event that Zimbabwe athletes have performed in but have yet to see Herald journalist Collin Matiza at one. Where is he?"

"Zimpapers have ignored amazing talent of our young rowers, Kirsty's heroic and stunning swims and Sharon's courage - all have done Zim proud"

"When I look at the superb performances of all our athletes and administrators I think they deserve better than this."

"I question why we pay a vast amount of money for a journalist to come to London for him to spend his time inappropriately trashing team Zim"

"I am very disappointed by the negative reporting of our Olympic campaign by Collin Matiza of the Herald. Have not seen him at a single event"

The Minister went on to wish Team Zim all the best.

"Good luck for Chris Felgate running in the #Olympic triathlon tomorrow. Zimbabwe is right behind you Chris and we will be there alongside" he twitted.
