Zimbabwe Broadcasting Holdings is next Friday -- on Africa Unity Day -
- expected to launch a new short wave radio station, The Voice of 
Zimbabwe, a Zimbabwean news and news analysis station that will 
broadcast internationally.

"The station will be Zimbabwe's first world station. It will broadcast 
initially for just two hours a day and gradually increase its broadcast 
time until it becomes a 24 hours a day news and talk station," ZBH said 
in a statement. 


"Although aimed predominantly at a world audience, the station may be 
of interest locally too because of its focus on news, news analysis and 
discussion programmes."

It said the station would broadcast from well-equipped studios in 
Gweru, adding world television broadcasts would be added to the 
station during the course of the year.

The new station is headed by Happison Muchechetere, who is the 
station's general manager, and has more than 20 years experience in 
broadcasting.

He joined the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation as a reporter in 
1984 and has held a number of senior positions with ZBH, having at 
different times been head of Television Productions, Head of Current 
Affairs Productions and Assignments Editor.

He trained in radio and television production in Tunisia, Holland and at 
Stanford University in the United States.

He was head of Electronic Services at New Ziana for the past five 
years.

ZBH group chief executive Mr Henry Muradzikwa said the station would 
counter the hostile propaganda of other foreign-based radio stations by 
providing factual information about the real situation in Zimbabwe.

"It will not be a propaganda station. It will present the truth.

"We hope it will also give Zimbabweans an opportunity to tell their own 
story.

"We plan to not only interview businespeople and other people in urban 
areas but to go out to rural areas and record what people there have to 
say," he said.

Muchechetere made a similar point: "We have not been created to 
counter or oppose what other radio stations say.Relevant Links





"Our mission is to give a true picture of events in Zimbabwe.

"We will not be setting out to comment on or react to what other 
stations say. We will be telling our own story, the true story of events in 
Zimbabwe," he said.

The new station will give Zimbabweans living abroad and anyone 
abroad with an interest in Zimbabwe the opportunity to hear reports on 
what is happening in Zimbabwe and news analyses from a 
Zimbabwean perspective.
