DISCUSS THE ROLE OF MEDIA IN ZIMBABWE AND HOW IT HAS SHAPED THE PERCEPTIONS
AND VALUES OF ZIMBABWEAN SOCIETY
1. Inform
o Mass media such as newspapers, radio and television continue to deliver
both local and global news. Major news services such as ZBC, Herald,
Newsday, among others, inform people about what’s going on.
Educate
o The media educates the public on a variety of topics through such tools as
newspapers, radio and TV. Public Broadcasting Service television programs
offer a wide range of educational content for people of all ages. TV and radio
station websites often offer free information for parents, teachers and
students.
Entertain
o Radio and television stations offer programs ranging from music to talk
shows, political programs, dramas and reality TV shows. The larger number of
cable and satellite channels now available has created channels dedicated to
classic movies, fitness programs and books. Popular and famous drama like
Kapfupi, Sabhuku Vharazipi always entertain people
Socialize
o Social media has become a key media method, with friends and family
passing along and discussing information, advice and videos on the Internet
through a variety of tools, ranging from Whatsapp, WeChat, YouTube,
Facebook, Twitter etc.
o
Public Opinion
Public opinion is the engine that keeps the wheels of a democracy turning. Though we elect
officials to conduct our government, they are restrained by the influence of the same public
opinion that put them into office. The average person is strongly affected by the social
group and the opinion leaders who reflect the opinions obtained from the mass media. Thus
the divergent views and in-depth analyses presented by the mass media are of vital
importance in the stance Zimbabweans take on critical issues.
Setting the Agenda
The media cannot report on an infinite number of stories, so they must choose which are the
most newsworthy. By choosing which stories to present to the public, the news media helps
determine the most important issues; in other words, the journalists set the agenda. Agenda-
setting is crucial because it shapes which issues will be debated in public. Television and
radio further publicize this interplay of opinion through news reports similar to those
appearing in the newspapers, interviews and panel discussions.
Link between the Government and the People
Mass media definitely acts as a link between the government and the people, thus building
up the political fabric of the Zimbabwean democracy. There are several channels through
which political leaders can express their views and rally public support for their policies.
Through the mass media the government can inform, explain and convince the public over
their programs.
Surveillance/watchdog function
The news media plays also the vital role of "watchdog" over the government, looking out for
instances of malfunction and corruption. The public would have far less control over the
affairs of the city, state and national government without the probing questions of
investigative reporters. Revelations by the press have led to important Parliamentary
investigations. The media was very instrumental in unearthing the Salarygate as well as the
Willowgate scandals. Reporters often uncover evidence of unethical and sometimes illegal
conduct of officials, thus causing the resignation of high government officials
Negative impacts of media
• Propagate cultural values from foreign countries

• Imposition of foreign ideologies e.g neo-liberalism, moral values e.g homo sexually
and military protest
• Politicizing of socio-economic issues e.g land issue of Zimbabwe
• Media has cultivated negative opinions
• Leads to self-denial among Zimbabweans
JUSTIFY THE 1998 LAND ACQUISATION PROCESS

Political:

• Failure of the Lancaster House Agreement
• 1998 Land Donor Conference
Economics
• Land is the major means of production for Zimbabwe and need to transform
political liberation to economic liberation by empowering the black majority
• Land reform was necessary to gain control and access to strategic resources like
minerals flora and fauna which were/still in the hands of a minority while
population
• Need to utilize idle land so as to achieve optimum economic growth

MARGINAILISATION OF THE NATIVE AFRICANS IN THE THEN RHODESIA FROM 1898-1965
Answer:
Land Apportionment Act of 1930
This Act disadvantaged and marginalized Africans because of the following:
• It legalized the displacements of Africans from large, rich fertile & prime regions
• It led to unfair land distribution
• More land was given to few whites e.g. 4,9 million acres to 100000 whites
• Prime or virgin land to whites
• Less land to black majority in region 4 and 5 that are hot, dry and tsetse fly infested
,infertile and with very low rainfall (28,6 million acres)
• It impoverished the blacks as they produced little in the poor areas
• It led to overcrowding in African areas leading to pressure on the Land ,such as
overgrazing
• Kept blacks politically inactive due to stringent requirements according to properly
and income.
Industrial Conciliation Act 1934
• It led to low salaries for blacks

• Denied blacks to join the Trade Union
• Reserved higher paying jobs for whites (skilled and semi-skilled)
• Restricted skilled training for white
The land husbandry Act
• It limited land ownership among Africans in reserves to between 5-8 acres of land
per person and this led to poor harvests and lower productivity as the Africans had
little land in poor areas.
• It limited the number of cattle per African to less than 12 in some cases to less than
6
• The limited number of cattle also improvised the Africans
• The poverty drove Africans into towns and farms to look for employment.

Europeans to Asia, Europe. South and North America and the Caribbean’s Slavery and slave
trade in Africa began about 700AD and lasted until 1805. Biblically slave trade existed, that
is Pyramids in Egypt were built through slave labor.
CAUSES OF SLAVE TRADE

which were expanding fast.
• Exporting labor from Europe at that time would have had a negative effect on the
infant capitalist economy

- If, on the other hand, it agrees with the report, the bill will not be passed.
- If the Parliamentary Legal Committee fails to present its report within the
period specified in the Standing Orders, it shall be presumed that there is no
adverse report and the House of Assembly shall proceed with the bill.
Stage 3 Second Reading
- This third stage is opened by the sponsoring minister, who makes a speech
outline the purposes of the bill and the principles upon which is based.
- This is followed by debate of these principles.
- No discussion on individual clause is permissible, although reference may be
to these clause as part of the debate.
- Following recent reforms to Zimbabwe’s parliamentary system, it is at this
stage that the relevant Parliamentary Portfolio Committee (PPC) will present
its report on the bill. PPCs are appointed for every government department
and one of their function is to scrutinize proposed bills, which includes
conducting public hearing and presenting a report to the Parliament.
- It is expected that the chairperson of the PCC will contribute to the debate on
principles based on the committee`s findings.
Stage 4 Consideration by Committee
- Next, the bill is considered clause by clause, either by a special committee set
up for the purpose or a committee of the whole house.
- The practice in Zimbabwe is to use a committee of the whole house.
- At the stage, amendments to individuals’ clauses are proposed and debated.
- Amendment are not usually successful if they run against the wishes of the
Government.
- The committee stage is chaired by the Deputy President, as the case may be,
and he/she is addressed as chairperson.
- Amendments proposed by the PPC are also discussed at this stage.
Stage 5 Reporting Stage
- This stage involved making a report of the bill, as amended, to the whole
house.
- If the bill was considered by a committee of the whole house, the report
stage is a mere formality.
- If it was considered by a special committee, this stage allows other members
of the house to propose amendments.
- Government may also use this stage to reverse amendments made at
committee stage or to add new clauses arising from any subsequent
deliberations.
Stage 6 Referral to the Parliamentary Legal Committee (PLC)
- If the bill is amended at the committee and/or report stages , it is referred to

the PLC, which will scrutinize any amendments according to the procedures
outlined in stage 2
Stage 7 Third Reading

- This is the stage at which the bill is put to a vote for either approval or
rejection.
- No reading per se takes place and, unless some members have given notice
that they wish to do so, there is no debate.
- The quorum, i.e., the minimum number of people required to constitute a
valid meeting of the House of Assembly.
- However, for a Constitution Bill to pass, there must be a two-thirds majority
from the total membership of each house.
Stage 8 Transmission to the other House
- As soon as the bill has been passed by the house in which it originated, an
authenticated copy of it is transmitted to the house.
- The second house may reject the bill or pass it with or without amendments.
- Where the second house passes the bill with amendments, it return the bill
to the house of origin.
- The house of origin my reject, agree to, or incorporate the amendments
made to the bill by the second house
- However, primacy is given to the House of Assembly in the following ways:
✓ If a bill originates in the Senate and is totally rejected by the House of Assembly
that is the end of the bill.
✓ If a bill originates in the House of Assembly and totally rejected by the Senate,
the House of Assembly may still present the bill to the President for assent in
its existing form, except for the minor changes required by passage of time.
However, the House of assembly can only present the bill to the President after
the expiration of 90days from the day of the introduction of the bill to the
Senate and after passing a resolution to that effect.
✓ Where a disagreement relates to amendments made to a bill, the House of
Assembly may present the bill to the President for assent in the form in which
it was passed, i.e., including any amendments it may have agreed with the
Senate. However, this may only be done after the expiration of 90 days
beginning on: a) the day of the introduction of the bill into the into the Senate
(if the bill originated in the house of assembly) or (b) the day of the return of
the bill to the Senate (if bill originated in the Senate).
✓ Again, a resolution to that effect is required.
✓ If a bill originates in the House of Assembly and the Senate, although not
rejected the bill, has not passed it before the expiration of 90 days from the
day of its introduction into the Senate, the House of Assembly may still present
the bill to the President as in (ii) above. In other words, if the Senate delays in
passing a bill, it may be overridden by the House of Assembly.
✓ A Vice President or a Minister may certify that a bill (other than a constitutional
bill) originating in the House of Assembly and passed by that house is so urgent
that is not in the national interest to delay its enactment. Such a bill may be
presented to the President for his/her assent in the form in which it was passed
by the House of Assembly after the expiration of eight sitting days beginning on
the day of its introduction into the Senate, if there is no agreement between
the two houses on amendments to be made, or if the Senate has not passed
the bill within that period.
✓ When a bill has been returned by the second house to the house in which it
originated, the latter shall consider the amendments made by the other house
and make a resolution on whether or not it agrees to them.
✓ It shall then communicate its resolution to the other house by ‘a message’
Stage 9 President Assent
- A bill becomes law only after being assented to by the president

- After a bill has been passed by both houses, or after the House of Assembly
has overridden the Senate, it is presented to the president for assent.
- In case of a constitutional bill, it must be accompanied by certificates from
the speaker and the president of the Senate certifying that it was approved
by the requisite two-thirds majority.
- The president is not obliged to assent to a bill; he/she has unlimited
discretion in this regard.
- Again, if the president rejects the bill in question, but the House of Assembly
subsequently secures the relevant two-thirds majority and return the bill to
the President, he/she is given two option: either assent to the bill within 21
days or dissolve Parliament and call for fresh elections.

rates to developing countries.
How developing countries are affected
Developing countries borrow capital from developed countries and from financial
institutions e.g. IMF and WB at very high interest rates
Developing countries pay back the loan with very high interest rates
Developing countries become indebted to the developed countries and to the IMF and WB
Their economies are controlled by the IMF and WB /or by developed nations
Developing countries develop a dependency syndrome
Developing countries become dominated by the IMF and WB
Developing countries are forced to implement economic Adjustment programs with difficult
conditions
They are forced to devalue their currencies to make their goods cheap on the world market,
making it difficult for them to generate adequate foreign currency
Developing countries become producers of cheap raw materials and importers of expensive
finished products from developed countries
The developing countries hence become poorer and poorer
QUESTION 7
