Dr Amai donates 50kg rice, 4l of cooking oil, soap & washing powder to Hungry Journalists

‘Hungry’ scribes, scrambled for freebies from First Lady Grace Mugabe in a move that has riled the Voluntary Media Council of Zimbabwe (VMCZ).

The watchdog condemned the behaviour of the journos calling it “unethical and disgraceful.”

Dozens of journalists from both private and public news outlets registered for the donations after Mrs. Mugabe pledged to extend her hand to them at a political rally in Mbare last week.

And on Thursday, she made good on her promise. Each reporter received a 50kg bag of Chinese rice, 4 liters of cooking oil, 4 bars of bathing soap and a bag of washing powder.


VMCZ boss Loughty Dube has demonised the whole thing and demanded that journalists return the gifts. Very funny when a person does a good thing for us we never appreciate. Even in our communitirs children are told not to eat at their neighbours place, Thats poverty mentality, even the president himself recieves gifts from anyone nomater the size of the gift.

Mr Dube why dont you give the journalists the rice yourself??? ,
