Human rights activist Dr Pedzisai Ruhanya has lamented the role the private press is playing in giving former President Robert Mugabe a voice the same man who bombed and silenced it.

The press (private) that Mugabe vilified, bombed, arrested and tortured its journalists and owners now give him voice. Politicians of all sorts should never temper with media freedom for there is a strong interplay between media and democracy.
