Harare preacher Prophet Walter Magaya is allegedly paying bribes to ZBC journalists in order to get fair coverage, an investigation recently opened claims.
The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation ZBC General Manager for television services, Tarzan Mandizvidza and a senior business reporter are being investigated by the Anti Corruption Commission for soliciting bribes from Prophet Walter Magaya and a ZANU (PF) legislator.
Mandizvidza and Bruce Chahwanda (a reporter) are said to be getting kick backs from ZANU(PF) Gokwe-Nembudziya MP Justice Mayor Wadyajena and PHD Ministries leader prophet Walter Magaya for positive coverage on the state controlled television station.
The bribe scandal was anonymously reported to the Zimbabwe Anti Corruption Commission by some disgruntled reporters after Chahwanda’s consecutive trips to Gokwe to cover Wadyajena’s political and private business while there is a Midlands Correspondent, Jackie Gwemende who covers the province.
“Last week Chahwanda was asked to write a comprehensive report by the Head of News and Current Affairs Josephine Zulu explaining who authorized his every weekend Gokwe trips. The report is now with the Human Resources department awaiting action,” said some reporters who requested anonymity for fear of victimization.
They continued saying “he is getting the blessings of going to Gokwe every weekend and cover Wadyajena by Mandizvidza . He is the same person who only covers Prophet Mayaga’s stories and no one else. If anyone comes with a Magaya story the copy does not see the light of the day.”
The sources said Tichaona Chikono, the camera person who moves with Bruce Chahwanda was not also happy with the dealings as he is also sidelined when it comes to the sharing of the bribes.
“The guy complains of being used by Mandizvidza and Chahwanda as they do not give him anything for the public relations of Wadyajena and Magaya. He is very bitter,” added the disgruntled reporters.
An official with the Zimbabwe Anti Corruption commission told ZimEye that they got the reports involving Mandizvidza and Chahwanda.
“We are on the task. We received those reports from ZBC and it is not that case only but several others involving corruption at the company, ” said an official with the ZACC who cannot be named because he is not allowed to speak to the media.

The passage of time tests everything. Over time we will get to know if Magaya is a true man of God or not. Time will tell us if all these stories flying around are mere fabrications or not. Time does not lie

Watch the space this is not rubbish. It is part of a big plan towards
Magaya. The man has to replay his cards again with the politicians and
the media. Corruption is not the issue. Magaya is.If he angered one of
these senior guys. Let him go back and ask for foregiveness. Now he is
on the headlines like Tsvangirayi and the marriage scandals during
begiining of the year. His team should be strong. Because they will
target the strong men around him. Now targetting his journalists.

I cannot speak for other people but I am surprised that you decided to include a man of God in your issues. One thing is, as much as I have seen the stories involving Magaya, there was never an good stories of magaya in any ZBC publications, so why would he pay them

Sounds like a case of corruption at ZBC rather than of bribery. If you have a tendency to hate some church leader and your boss is a member of that leader’s church, or at least sympathetic to them, your work will surely not see the light of day.
