NYARADZO Group yesterday donated personal protective equipment (ppe) to the media fraternity, a gesture aimed at protecting journalists from the scourge of Covid-19.

The media, like any other fraternity has not been spared from the deadly pandemic, with the first person to be killed by the virus last year being a media practitioner.

Since the outbreak of the pandemic and subsequent introduction of various measures to curb the spread of the virus in Zimbabwe, the media has been designated as an essential service provider during the ongoing lockdown period, hence the need for the practitioners to have PPE.

The donation was handed over to the Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Monica Mutsvangwa yesterday at her offices in Harare.- The Herald
