Although it strangely took you seven years to have a meeting with the fourth estate, Cde President at least you tried, we applaud the effort.
Unfortunately your good intentioned presser has been overshadowed by your regime’s heavy handed handling of the fourth estate as a senior AMH journalist, Blessed Dhara Mhlanga finds himself behind bars for doing exactly what you invited the editors to do at state house, gather and spread news.
It’s very, very strange that Blessed is languishing behind bars for asking questions that the same editors were asking you when you invited them to your official residence.
Blessed simply invited a newsmaker to discuss a topical issue, the same way you invited persons who would make your voice heard.
Blessed even went out his way to invite those who for ED2030 agenda for their voices to be heard on the same platform.
There is no newspaper worth its salt that would ignore stories about ED2030 agenda because, that topic is dominating our political landscape.
The fact that there is no opposition and the only opposition is in Zanu PF leaves the fourth estate with no choice except to amplify the dissenting voices in the ruling party.
Even the editors asked you about the ED2030 agenda which you answered though unsatisfactorily, because we feel the people that must be addressed are your supporters who are in overdrive about the matter.
We appeal to you Cde President to tell whoever is behind the arrest of Blessed, that the journalist is siply doing his job and he could have been part of the delegation to meet you when you invited the Harare editors for a presser.
