MDC says ZBC is refusing to screen its adverts

The Movement for Democratic Change today said the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation is refusing to screen its adverts, which the party has already paid for, because they are too powerful and the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front cannot match them. The adverts showed party president Morgan Tsvangirai and Mai Tsvangirai with their “incisive” messages on what the MDC will do when it forms the next government after winning the 31 July elections. The ZBC was waiting for ZANU-PF to make counter adverts from Robert Mugabe and his wife Grace before they can screen the MDC adverts.
