Chamunorwa who was renowned for his hard-hitting editorials and commentaries at the helm of the Financial Gazette, was suspended  in 2007 over a story reportedly involving the business interests of a then powerful ruling ZANU PF official.

Chamunorwa was suspended by the then Chief Executive Officer Jacob Chisese following publication of a story linking top Zanu officials among them, the then Governor for Mashonaland East Province, Ray Kaukonde  to lucrative security contracts at the former Harare International Airport.
