Zimbabwe: No movement on media reform despite government pledges

Repeated promises by the unity government to reform the repressive media environment in Zimbabwe are proving hollow, with no evidence of any action being taken to ensure media freedom. Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai on Thursday said there have been “significant improvements in media freedom in the country,” during an announcement on the outstanding issues of the Global Political Agreement. But improvements, in the form of pledges, are not translating into action.
