MEDIA ALLAINCE OF ZIMBABWE STATEMENT ON JESTINA MUKOKO’S ABDUCTION
Presented by ZUJ President, Matthew Takaona

The Media Alliance of Zimbabwe (MAZ) has learnt with great shock and concern about the alleged abduction of veteran broadcaster and Zimbabwe Peace Project Director, Jestina Mukoko from her home in Norton on Wednesday December 3, 2008.

The veteran broadcasters’ whereabouts are still unknown raising fears about her safety and well-being.

We demand that police and other security arms shed light on the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

The continued harassment of journalists and civic society activists runs contrary to the spirit of the on-going power sharing talks and the Global Political Agreement.

We urge all political parties to the agreement and the guarantors such as the SADC and AU to immediately get to the bottom of the matter concerning Jestina Mukoko.

The Media Alliance includes the Zimbabwe Union of Journalists, the Media Institute of Zimbabwe-Zimbabwe Chapter, Federation of Africa Media Women- Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe National Editors Forum, Media Monitoring Project of Zimbabwe and the Zimbabwe Association of Community Radio Stations
