Tsvangirai under media spotlight after allegedly bribing journalists

Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has come under media spotlight after revelations that he has allegedly bribed editors of local private newspapers to stop the negative portrayal of his party and his glaring failure to handle his bedroom politics.

In his latest desperate attempt to redeem his soiled image, which has seen him being condemned for supporting gay rights and his glaring failure to handle his bedroom politics, the MDC-T president is reported to have dangled thousands of dollars to editors from the local private media to gag them.

Tsvangirai, whose numerous sexcapades dominated both the private and public media towards the end of last year, allegedly held secret meetings with three editors from the private media and directed them to get editorial instructions from his office.

Tsvangirai instructed the editors to immediately stop publishing anything to do with his taboo marriage to Lorcadia Karimatsenga, and the three editors dutifully obliged as the stories on Tsvangirai vanished from their newspapers much to the surprise of readers who are now questioning the objectives of these papers.

It has also emerged that Tsvangirai ordered the editors to redirect their negative reports to Zanu-PF and attack officials who dare question the blundering recklessness of Tsvangirai and his party.

Some of the people to be vilified are Presidential spokesperson, George Charamba, who is also the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Media, Information and Publicity and Professor Jonathan Moyo.

It is not the first time that the Prime Minister's office has sunk so low to the extent of been fingered in scandals involving bribing of journalists.

Only last year, the Prime Minister's junior minister, Jameson Timba went on a spending spree dishing out US$3 million to the private media to influence them to denounce Zanu-PF.
