By Own Correspondent| A Harare based freelance journalist Philemon Jambaya was last night arrested and taken into police custody after ZRP details on their operation targeting money changers accused him of taking pictures of their encounter with the forex traders on the streets.

Jambaya, had his Zimbabwe Media Commission accreditation card confiscated by the police.

Addressing journalists at a MISA Zimbabwe organised ZRP, journalists interactive workshop at Holiday Inn in Harare, ZRP Spokesperson Senior Assistant Commissioner Charity Charamba is on record saying as part of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s “new dispensation” requirements, the force had been retrained on how to engage with the media.

This followed concern raised on how the police arrested, harrassed and beat up journalists as they executed their duties.

Said Assistant Commissioner Charamba:

“We have been holding training workshops with police details on how they should treat the media in the new dispensation. You will see the change because this is a new administration and we will be doing things differently.”
