Zimbabwe: The Rumour Capital

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Zimbabwe, Elections, Media & Journalism, Politics

Harara is the rumour capital of Zimbabwe [1]: “Our only non-state daily newspaper was bombed so the people’s paper is the people’s stories, nyayas that circulate like a whisper at a bottle store. Mugabe has fled to Malaysia. Morgan has 68% of the presidential vote. Mujuru has lost her seat. Morgan’s win is being broadcast live on TV. A people starved of truth begin to manufacture their own.”
