THE need to open up media space is one of the key lessons learnt from the Covid-19 pandemic experience, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister, Monica Mutsvanga, has said.
Speaking during the handover of community radio broadcasting equipment to the people of Chimanimani, Minister Mutsvangwa said: “Our experience with the management and control of the Covid-19 pandemic as a nation has taught us in the past 12 months that access to information is a cornerstone of building healthy and inclusive knowledge societies.
“We have really came a long way. To date, my Ministry under the Second Republic led by the visionary leadership of His Excellency, President Mnangagwa, has issued licenses to six television stations, 10 commercial radio stations, 14 community radio stations and seven campus radio stations.”
In his speech during the same function, Information Communication Technology and Courier Services Minister Cde Jenfan Muswere underscored the Second Republic’s commitment to improve access to ICT services in marginalised areas.
