ZTV has flighted an edited version of an MDC Alliance advert that had initially been rejected by the national broadcaster on the grounds that it contained hate speech. The advert was aired on Saturday 28 July at 1913. The same advert was also aired on Star FM at 1825.
The Daily News on Sunday had reported that, “State controlled broadcaster Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) has refused to flight MDC Alliance’s presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa’s political advertisement ahead of the crunch elections tomorrow ostensibly because it borders on hate speech”
