Chipanga Warns Private Media To Stay Away From Zanu-PF Youth League, NewsDay Journo Assaulted

Zanu-PF Youth League Secretary Kudzanayi Chipanga has warned the private media to stop trying to destabilise his organisation. Chipanga claimed that the private media was working non-stop to derail the Zanu-PF Youth League and accused the media of writing falsehoods. Chipanga was unhappy about NewsDay journalist Richard Chidza’s story titled “Zanu-PF youths fight over Grace.” Chidza was assaulted by Zanu-PF youths at the press conference who were demanding to know his source.  Ironically, he was saved by Chipanga who warned his colleagues not to assault the journalist.

Speaking yesterday, Chipanga said:

We also like to appeal to the private media, we have realised that the private media is now working 24 hours in trying to destabilise the Youth League of the party.

They are writing a lot of nonsense and negative things about the Youth League. We know that they are being paid for that. They are not happy with the unity which is prevailing in the Youth League. We would like to tell the private media that hands off the Youth League. The Youth League of Zanu-PF, unlike other youth leagues, is revolutionary. It is driven by the people and party constitution. It is the Youth League for President Mugabe and Amai Mugabe and no one else.
