The Acting Minister of Information and Publicity Munyaradzi Paul Mangwana says the government is willing to discuss and repeal certain sections of the restrictive Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA) that curtail media freedom.

Addressing journalists at the Quill Club, the national press club in Harare, Minister Mangwana reiterated his support for the establishment of an independent self-regulatory media council. He said the government was forced to come up with the statutory Media and Information Commission (MIC) because as the fourth estate, the media could not operate without some form of regulation to protect “national interest”.

“Show me a workable self-regulatory body and we can talk,” he said adding that the government was willing to repeal sections of AIPPA that impede journalistic freedom.
