Amh is an independent media house free from political ties or outside influence. We have four newspapers: the zimbabwe independent, a business weekly online edition. Citizen coalition for change (ccc) councillors in chinhoyi snubbed a meeting organised by the party’s self-proclaimed secretary-general, sengezo tshabangu, last week. In a memo dated july 16 this year, tshabangu called all ccc councillors to attend the meeting to deliberate on negative media reports about the city fathers. “following several negative media reports about goings-on at your council, i am writing to you, to notify you of an urgent meeting to look into these issues in detail and proffer long-lasting solutions,” tshabangu said. Only two out of the 10 elected councillors attended the meeting.
Embattled mayor owen charuza and his deputy chipo mlotswa allegedly showed up for the aborted meeting. Tshabangu-led ccc faction provincial member tendayi musonza confirmed that only two elected members showed up at the venue but denied that it was a meeting. “two elected members showed up at the venue and we are happy that the mayor and his deputy are on our side,” he said.
