SW Radio Africa, London reports that police have announced a ban on ‘specially designed radios’ that are
‘not compatible with state owned stations’, claiming the devices would
be used to communicate hate speech ahead of polls scheduled for this
year.
In a move seen as an attempt to silence external radio stations, such
as SW Radio Africa and VOA’s Studio 7, broadcasting to Zimbabwe via
shortwave and medium wave, police spokesperson Charity Charamba
threatened to deal with organizations that helped to distribute portable
radios, saying recipients would also be arrested.
