A SOLDIER TO RUN ZIMBABWE'S BROADCASTING COMPANY

Those who read this blog regularly will know that I said it before. Mugabe is preparing to stay in power until he drops dead. And typical of any dictator, he is putting his trust in soldiers, men and women who take orders and ask no questions. Men and women he knows as long as he keeps them happy, they will not turn their guns on him.

Is it surprising then to hear from Harare that he intends to appoint one more army man, former Airforce of Zimbabwe commodore, Mike Karakadzai to run the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Holdings (ZBH). A media insitution of all organizations.

He now has almost all key economic institutions run by active or former soldiers, now information dissemination is going to be done at the point of a gun.

Remember that recently there was a call from the Zimbabwe government for all journalists to undergo national service (read Zanu PF indoctrination). Now, Karakadzai is likely to require that television and radio journalists undergo military training.

How will it all end?
