HARARE, Zimbabwe ? The state broadcasting authority says it has issued two licenses to commercial radio stations to compete with the sole government-owned broadcaster loyal to Zimbabwe's president.
The independent Media Institute of Southern Africa on Friday criticized the announcement by the authority and said the new stations were not fairly chosen by officials appointed by the information ministry run by President Robert Mugabe party.
Zimbabwe Newspapers, publishers of the main pro-Mugabe daily Herald, will launch a Talk Radio channel. The second channel, ZiFM, is controlled by a black empowerment campaigner and stalwart of Mugabe's party who says it will go on air within six months.
A coalition deal with the former opposition in 2009 called for an end to the three decade monopoly of Mugabe's Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corp.
