Jane Mlambo| Newly appointed Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Ndavaningi (Nick) Mangwana has promised to reform media laws with both Access to Information and Protrection of Privacy Act (AIPPA) and Broadcasting Services Act (BSA) high on the government agenda.
In a Twitter post this morning, Mangwana confirmed that media reforms were on the government agenda in what could breathe a sigh of relief to media practitioners who have always campaigned against repealing of laws deemed to infringe on freedom of expression and access to information.
