The return of Professor Jonathan Moyo as Zimbabwe’s Information, Media and Broadcasting Services Minister is a progressive move, says Dumisani Muleya, Editor of the Zimbabwe Independent, a private and weekly published newspaper from Harare.

Mr. Muleya made the remarks while addressing the media on the experiences of journalists: Local, Regional and International in Harare on Wednesday.

He said the re-appointment of Professor Jonathan Moyo to the Information Minister post was a decisive move as he is bound to move forward.

“We were looking for a new dialogue that would promote a good working environment for Journalists and Professor Moyo’s re appointment was progressive and useful.

“We are expecting a new kind of dispensation from him, “said Mr. Muleya.

Mr. Muleya also applauded Zimbabwe’s new constitution which guarantees freedom of expression.

“As far as freedom of expression is concerned, the new constitution is important for us as Zimbabwean Journalists.

“It is useful in entrenching media freedom in Zimbabwe,” added Mr. Muleya

He also reiterated that the emerging of new radio stations and newspapers is a clear indication that Zimbabwe entered a new media era.

Also gracing the occasion was Editor of The Herald Ceasar Zvayi who urged Journalists to retract for some of their misleading statements.

“As Journalists, we have our own opinions and we should apologize for some of our string opinions,” said Zvayi a former scientist.
