Zimbabwe 3.12 The public broadcaster offers as much diverse and creative local content as economically achievable. ANALYSIS: Jonathan Moyo in his time as Minister of Information introduced a local content quota of 75 %, aiming at 100 %, in both radio and television. Most productions are propagating the ruling party’s ideology – even music. Moyo himself, for example, produced a 21-track album of his songs that was on high rotation and played over and over again. Another example are jingles such as “Rambai Makashinga (continue being strong/ persevere) that were propagandist in nature. These would be played every 30 minutes on all four radio stations as well as on ZTV at the same time, giving listeners and viewers no option but to listen to them. After it became more and more difficult to fill the airwaves with local content, “local” was then expanded to mean “African”. This quota is still in place but western music and programming is slowly being re-introduced.
