All deadlines for these demands have long since passed and the Minister has declared that he will not reconstitute the body.

BAZ has been in place since October 2009 and has granted just two radio licences so far. Community radio stations have not been invited to apply for licences. The lack of any other broadcaster on the media landscape speaks volumes about the fairness in the allocation of radio licences and so do the two licences that were recently awarded. One of the stations will be part of the Zimpapers stables and it is clear where their loyalties lie. The owner of the other radio station is the chairman of the Affirmative Action Group which has leanings towards Zanu PF and he has openly admitted that he supports ZANU PF. 40 AFRICAN MEDIA BAROMETER ZIMBABWE 2012
