State to Build 5 New Transmitters for Expansion

New Zimbabwe reports that the government plans to install five new transmitters to expand radio and TV coverage. The initiative aims to close the digital divide in rural areas, but critics argue it is a tool for state propaganda. The real friction lies in the lack of licences for independent broadcasters, meaning the expansion will primarily amplify pro-government narratives. This move is likely to intensify the debate over media freedom in the country.
