By Paul Nyathi | Opposition MDC leader Professor Welshman Ncube has taken to task a Newsday reporter Obey Manayiti for publishing falsehood in a widely read article claiming that Ncube said MDC Alliance leader Morgan Tsvangirai is untrustworthy.
In a WhatsApp chat between Ncube and Manayiti, the MDC Alliance coalition spokesperson demands to know from the journalist where he ever made the sensational the allegations against Tsvangirai.
“Good morning Obey. I am very disappointed in your commentary in the story. When was I seething with anger? When did I make any accusation against Tsvangirai? When did I say Tsvangirai was an untrustworthy partner? Why on earth attribute to me things I never said?” asked an upset Ncube.
Shockingly, the reporter who is quoted as the author of the story expresses ignorance of the issue altogether.
“Good morning Prof, I haven’t seen the story as yet but I will check and come back to you,” he responded.
“I am very upset. Tell me when did I say Tsvangirai was bent on perpetuating ZANU PF rule when I NEVER even mentioned Tsvangirai,” said Ncube after sharing the story with the journalist.
“Oh I see, I will raise it at work. However, sometimes we use Tsvangirai as a symbol for his party,” responded the journalist requesting to do a follow up story to try and put correct facts on the matter.
“We should not do journalism of this kind. What is the Agenda for creating fake news in this instance? What happened to professional honesty? I certainly have no interest in a follow up story. The newspaper has an ethical and professional obligation to withdraw the false statements attributed to me which I didn’t say. That is the only solution to the publication of falsehoods,” Ncube responded angrily.

safer the dog you know than a strange dog.
All news outlets publish fake news. There is no such thing as an honest journalist. Read any publication that passes as news and see how much of it is fake. Nobody published real news anywhere on earth.

It is wrong to expect any journalist to tell the truth, because no journalist has been able to do that yet. It is an industry based on lies. Ncube is the one at fault here, castigating the poor man for doing his job.
Are you aware that this is how you will get HIV and other STI. If someone leaves you, you need to let them go, not getting them back after months of absence. The person who facilitates the coming back of such a lover is also guilty of a social offence.
Better to get a more honest boyfriend/girlfriend than to get the same old dog back. Where is your belief in yourself?
I want to give a big thanks to a great spell caster called Dr Mama Anina brought back my joy, by bringing back my ex lover back to me after many months of breakup and loneliness. With this i am convinced that you are sent to this word to rescue people from heartbreak and also the solution to every relationship problem. for those of you out there who have one relationship problem or the other why not contact Dr Mama Anina on his email [email protected] or better still call his cell phone on +27603051423. that is the best place you can solve all your problems.
Jurnos need to be professional perhaps they need more training instead of rushing out to write something it should be checked by someone above them
