Sunday Times reported to the police
ZMC chairman Godfrey Majonga recently reported the Sunday Times and The Zimbabwean newspaper to the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), seeking to bar the newspapers from entering and circulating in the country because they were not registered with the statutory media regulatory body.
In an affidavit deposed to police at Harare Central police station, Majonga said the Sunday Times and other foreign newspapers were carrying out newsgathering in the country without registration and licensing.
The ZMC chairperson complained to the police that journalists working for the Sunday Times were using false names and "do not respect the laws of the land".
