C'mon Zim, time to get it together - 22 Nov 2010

By Sindy Peters, Africa editor

C'mon Zim, time to get it together - Mon, 22 Nov 2010Just when the world thought Zimbabwe was on its way to a home run with the inclusive government set on levelling economic affairs and developments implemented to further press plurality and freedom, the country has been caught out again facing a string of violations against media freedom. I can only imagine this is due to the possibility of national elections being hosted next year that could see vast changes for the country if those elections are free and fair.

Change is good, but in Zimbabwe's case, change will be great - and change can only come for the better if human rights are upheld and if freedom of expression is honoured. Will we see the same atrocities committed come 2011, or will the voice of the Zimbabwean people finally be heard above the political mayhem that continually encapsulates this once prosperous country. I, for one, sincerely hope for progress.
