Question

In Zimbabwe, the government controls the media to publish __________________.

• A. opposition party activities.
• B. ruling party version.
• C. reforms of the government.
• D. demands of the people.

Answer 1

The correct option is B ruling party version.

President Mugabe of the Zimbabwe is popular but also uses unfair practices in elections. Over the years his government has changed the constitution several times to increase the powers of the President and make him less accountable. Opposition party workers are harassed and their meeting disrupted. Public protests and demonstrations against the government are declared illegal. There is a law that limits the right to criticise the President. Television and radio are controlled by the government and give only the ruling party’s version.
