HARARE(ZimEye)Zimbabwe’s Prime minister Dr Morgan Tsvangirai has called for the dismissal of Zanu (PF)’s Political Commissar Webster Shamu labeling him an impediment to the full implementation of the Global Political Agreement.
Addressing journalists who gathered in Kuwadzana on the World Press freedom Day celebrations organized by Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) on 3 May, Tsvangirai said the former radio disk jockey had become a liability for the country because of his refusal to reform the media environment.
“This man called Shamu happens to be Zanu (PF) political commissar at the same time being the Minister of information who in turn is refusing to implement media reforms as stated in the GPA. If such a man was coming from my party I would have sacked him long ago. The president should simply fire such a man,” said Tsvangirai.
The ICT Minister Nelson Chamisa who is also the legislator for Kuwadzana also made a jocular remark echoeing Prime Minister Tsvangirai’s sentiments.
“The President should fire Shamu just as the prime minister has said. I know the President normally is eager to take advice from the Prime Minister,” said the young Minister Chamisa.

Shamu must be fired now - Tsvangirai

Addressing another gathering at a Press Freedom Day organized by the statutory board, Zimbabwe Media Commission (ZMC) led by media hangman Tafataona Mahoso the Information Minister Webster Shamu said government had no option but to intervene in the operations of the media as the practitioners continue to do their job irresponsibly.
“If the last five years of change do not show the media industry and the journalism profession to have fulfilled their promises, then the sovereign people of Zimbabwe have no option but to intervene and protect themselves through instruments of the state, that is to revert to the regulatory regime of 2001-2007,” said Shamu.
Meanwhile Shamu’s deputy Murisi Zwizwai (MDC-T) has also decried his boss’s lack of commitment adding that he does not see the difference between the party and Zanu (PF).
Zimbabwean media practitioners are currently working under a very repressed media environment with several unfounded lawsuits having been filed against journalists like Nqaba Matshazi, Nevanji Madanhire and Nqolisani Ncube among others being latest victims of defamation charges.(ZIMBABWE, ZimEye)

  1. Tsvangirai you were bemoaning the continuation of Chihuri and Chiwenga but when their time to leave government came you let them stay in their position now its Shamu,why cant we say and implement?

  2. same old song from Morgan once again. he was supposed to talk about the repressive laws that derail the work of journalists and so forth. how can he fire a ZANU deployee when he belongs to MDC? Tsvangirai is badly letting us done now, he must catch a wake up. time is running out for him. get out of ZANU marriage and stand alone and agree to elections, people will vote for you. flip-flopping wont help matters. Job Sikhala is more brave than Tsvangirai

  3. Bla Miki you useless shona savage if the British wanted to do something about Zimbabwe they would have done so long ago. You are not worth it to them. If they did get involved it would only take a day or two to wipe out every shona living in zimbabwe. What have you got to use comrade – catapults? Don’t worry we keep a very close eye on your military hardware and what you have. We monitor the movement of most shona ministers / thieves. War will return comrade and when it does I am going to personally make a point of hunting you down myself. I want to use a blunt knife when I come looking for you.

  4. Iwe,******ke, tichakuviyisa mbudzi,are the British part of the every Tuesday cabinet discussion.Here we are talking of issues that are suppose to be discussed in cabinet meetings with the relevant ministers and if your Chematama has the balls why doesnt he confront Cde Shamu since he chairs the ministers meeting.

  5. Ende kaChanyisa kazofarisa semusungwa awona bhurugwa rechikadzi. Kangasimudza muromo iwowo kuti Cde Shamu ngavasiye basa zvemakombiyuta kapedza here? Kuonererwa naana Peshie vaakasakadza vakunwa masese kuSunset?

  8. Very stupid as usual,cabinet matters should not be turned into rallies topical issues.If he has probblems with Cde Shamu surely he knows the correct platform to present his griveances.

  9. the president must start with you becoz u hav failed also,what have u done kubva pawakapinda mu gnu

  10. the president must with you becoz u hav failed also,what have u done kubva pawakapinda mu gnu

  11. This shows ou being led by an ignorant (Dr) Tsvangirayi.
    The word reform is too general to make any sense. What is it that people are expecting.technology has made it possible for people to source news and entertainment from whatever source their want. As such its the people who need to reform as to what news they want to hear or music to listen to or speeches to inspire them. You can’t expect the Minister to do that.

  12. Asikana, there is nothing u can do Chematama. Shungu unadzo asi simba hapana. Position yauyinayo yakangofanana neyestreetkid, coz huPM hwako ndehwezita bedzi. Shamu is not going anywhere. Come elections and these opportunists will be nomore. Sooner or later Chematama is going to be irrelevant in Zim politics. Kana Tete big supporter yako vazvionawo kuti uritakos.

  13. shamu anofanira kudzingwa nekuti anotora basa rehumende oriita RE ZANU PF. he must be fired

  14. Dhokuta, ndizvo zvakaita doctor izvozvi? Call him a Witchdoctor or maybe Dr Love, mukwiri. Moregirls Tsvakwirai.

  15. Ki ki ki ki ki ki, Fidza, he is actually reading instructions from his handlers, the British also copied to Jacob Zuma and TB Joshua. I really wonder how much press freedom do these people want. Zanu pf has almost been stripped naked, with the President Cde Mugabe being their target. Check the reports in The Zimbabwean, The Daily News, Newsday, Standard, Independant, FinGaz (to a certain extend) and listern to Studio 7? Zimeye, Zimsituation, Newzimbabwe, ZimDaily all rubbish. SA is currently deliberating on a similar law which has already sailed through Parliament but being fearcely challenged by whites.

  16. Start by firing yourself as you have let us down in both your private and professional capacity. NXA!! So?
