The Zimbabwe Union of Journalists, (ZUJ) has condemned strongly the attacks made on Mugove Tafirenyika, a journalist with The Daily News while covering a war veterans solidarity march at Zanu PF headquarters on Wednesday afternoon.
Tafirenyika was reportedly attacked by Zanu PF activists while pursuing his professional duties.
ZUJ Secretary General, Foster Dongozi said the Union was deeply concerned by the unwarranted vicious attacks on the journalist as it seriously compromised the safety and security of working journalists.
"Any barbaric acts of brutality against journalists should be condemned strongly and what is even more appalling was that the attacks were done in the presence of Zanu PF and government leadership," said Dongozi.
The Union calls on the leadership of Zanu PF and other organizations to encourage its members to adopt zero tolerance on violence against journalists.
