“!diots”: Mutumbuka slams  ZBC journalists

Dr. Dzingai Mutumbuka, the former minister of education and culture for Zimbabwe at Independence, has called the journalists of the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation idiots who are either unaware of the importance of journalistic ethics or involved in corruption.

He called the situation at the State-run media outlet as appalling.

Mutumbuka, who has been fighting for the past two years to reclaim his $600,000 house that was lost due to a forged title deed, claimed he spoke with ZBC about the matter for the benefit of the public, but the interview was never printed.

“ZTV spoke with me but took no action. In my biassed perspective, they are either ignorant people who attended a small-town journalism school and are blind to the fact that a trending topic is there in front of them, or they are just plain stupid. Alternatively, it might be because they are involved in corruption.

“These two situations are awful.

According to me, one of these has to be real,” Mutumbuka remarked.

He compared corruption to a disease that ravages the entire body and exhorted journalists to combat the plague ruthlessly, fearlessly, and without favouritism.

He declared that if corruption is not stopped, the nation will descend into chaos. The future of “our children” and one’s love for one’s nation, he remarked, motivated one to battle corruption.

Written responses to questions from The Mirror were provided by Mutumbuka. “To be honest, when I agreed to be interviewed I was not doing it for myself but for many others who have no name recognition and have or will lose their valuable properties to criminals,” Mutumbuka stated.

He called on the Fourth Estate, or journalists, to eradicate corruption with a vengeance.

He stated that the police, the media, and magistrates and judges are the three institutions that are essential in combating the pandemic. When the press has completed its work, he continued, the police should arrive, make an arrest, and magistrates should carefully handle any matters that are presented before them.

If any one of the three pillars fails to carry out its duties, corruption would flourish, according to Dr. Mutumbuka. He advised aspiring journalists to become well-known by combating corruption.

“Corruption ravages the body cruelly, just like a cancer does.
