Dr Dish which will distribute Kwese TV satellite content to the Zimbabweans, filed an urgent High Court chamber application seeking permission to operate its broadcast business, pending judgement of a Supreme Court appeal by the Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe.
In its application Dr Dish states that it had 24 145 subscribers before the High Court judgment and at least 5 429 more subscribers have joined their network since the judgment was handed down, bringing the total subscribers to 32 429. Dr Dish argues that if they are not allowed to operate they will lose business and 1 635 people employed by Kwese risk losing their. The people’s right to freedom of the media will also be violated.
