The VOZ propaganda radio station has been broadcasting news and news analysis programmes from 6pm and 9pm. The rest of the day and evening, it plays chimurenga and liberation war songs supporting the efforts of President Robert Mugabe. VOZ station manager, Shadreck Mupeni confirmed that the government radio station has increased its propaganda reportage.
‘We would like to offer our listeners more of such programmes as they are popular among our listeners judging by the feedback that we are receiving,’ Mupeni said.
The propaganda 24 hour radio station was introduced by Mugabe to challenge foreign based independent radio stations broadcasting Zimbabwe news like Studio 7, SW Radio Africa and Voice of the People.
The changes follow the suspension of seven journalists at Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) for sympathizing with the MDC. ZBC boss, Henry Muradzikwa, has been replaced with war veteran and fierce Mugabe supporter, Happison Muchechetere.
