Mugabe sending people SMS messages
07 Mar 2011 at 09:11hrs | Views
Zanu PF has been dispatching its anti-sanctions campaign messages via the information superhighway through mobile phones, as the former ruling party steps up its campaign ahead of general elections expected later this year.
One of the messages sent to Net-One subscribers read: "The time has come for every Zimbabwean to sign the petition or dial 0044 7893227001 for the removal of illegal sanctions imposed by the European Union and the United States of America."
However, observers view the latest move as an infringement on people's privacy as the party did not seek NetOne subscribers' consent before dispatching its campaign messages.
