Bulawayo- Journalists in Bulawayo are organizing an action for the release of the Standard journalist, Nqobani Ndlovu. Nqobani appeared in court but was sent back to remand prison for seven days. Nqobani wrote a story where he said ZRP members did not write examinations for promotion as former police chiefs were recalled from retirement. He was arrested under the repressive POSA. Nqobani has been languishing in prison for close to two weeks now. Journalists have been calling for laws like POSA and AIPPA to be repealed as they are an anathema to the journalism fraternity.
