Open letter to Trevor Ncube AMH boss

Mr Ncube we read in the press that your company protested against tribalism at BAZ which is why you believe its the reason why you were not awarded a radio licence even if you think you had everything that qualifies you to have it.
You rightly pointed out that Ndebele people and or Matabeleland is being sidelined and or marginalized, starved of information because the focus of the state media and private media available is Shona everything is about Shona which is all true.
Esintwini kwakuthiwe indwangu zihlekana iziphongo. And the Bible in Matthew 7 verse 5 says; Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. This is exactly what AMH is doing.
As Mthwakazi Republic Party MRP we have noticed that your Newspapers namely Newsday, The Independent and Standard not forgetting the Mail and Guardian in South Africa hardly write about us even if we give them our press statement and we have since realised that there is tribalism at AMH.
We had to inquire from your journalists in Bulawayo who complain even if they write stories about Mthwakazi politicians those stories hardly get published to the extent that most of your journalists in Bulawayo now are mostly focusing on witch craft stories, prostitution, Beverly the rounchy dancer as they call her. Among other social stories of rape, etc.
Mr T Ncube you went a step further and opened the Southern Eye promising that the newspaper will focus more to the region surprisingly Harare parties and their leaders still dominates the newspaper.
Mr Ncube are you aware that your editors in Harare are also tribalists? Are you also aware that your editors are also judges who judge which political party to promote and which one not to? IN South Africa there are many regional political parties like MRP but they enjoy media coverage we are also a party like MDC-T and ZANU we also need coverage. It doesn't make sencethat even in the Southern Eye Mujuru, Tswangirai, Biti and Mugabe still dominates it. What criteria do you use to publish political stories, do you also believe that nothing good can come out Matabeleland? We read in the press that you spent some time with Chamisa can you enjoy the same with me?
Bulawayo Journalists in all media houses complain that they are being undermined what do you say about that? Please before you complain about BAZ do something about our complaint. Better still allow your journlists to do their job without hindrance.
