Government Intensifies Jamming SW Radio Africa
Statement by Station Manager Gerry Jackson
(UK)
The Independent Voice of Zimbabwe - is once again being jammed by government authorities.
Recently our medium wave transmissions were jammed and we returned to shortwave - but after a few weeks this has also been jammed. It
would appear that our news bulletin is being specifically targeted.

This is clearly because a program of organised, peaceful resistance has begun in Zimbabwe and is also ahead of the advertised protests by
the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions, scheduled to begin on 13th September.

We deplore the fact that government believes it can hold on to power by blocking access to freedom of information and expression.

If it put this much time, energy and money into something positive, Zimbabwe would once again be a wonderful place to live.
