HARARE – An organisation calling itself War Veterans Welfare Group has dragged the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) to
court, alleging breach of contract.
In an urgent chamber application filed at the High Court, the group said it entered into an agreement with the public broadcaster, in terms
of which ZBC was supposed to flight
advertisements inviting former liberation war fighters to participate in a demonstration held in Harare yesterday.
“ZBC agreed to flight the adverts thrice and on consecutive days beginning Saturday December
15.
“ZBC has, however, and at the 11th hour stopped flighting of war vets’ paid for and previously accepted adverts for the demonstration, but
failed to give good and sufficient reasons warranting interference with war veterans’ fundamental rights, except that his stance was malicious and discriminatory,” the application
reads in part.Daily News
