Name a single privately owned radio station in Zimbabwe? The two you get online are based abroad.

There are places in Zimbabwe where ZANU thugs beat up anyone seen with one of the few privately owned newspapers. The privately owned papers are available mainly in the cities, the result is that the rural population have limited choice in information. This may be OK with you, but I believe choice is freedom.

S. African TV stations, these are satellite channels. Cheapest cost about $ 350000 a month. Given that teachers take home about $3m, and renting a place can cost more than $1m, work out how many people can afford that.

As for killings, yes, they run in to hundreds. I am not just talking about the MDC- the problems of ZANU violence and intimidation go way back.

I know people who have suffered violence at the hands of ZANU, so you really make me sick when you actually have the nerve to make excuses for them.
