On
Thursday, March 12, 2015, two delegates, Tabani Moyo and Jacqueline
Chikakano, from the Zimbabwe chapter of the Media Institute of Southern
African (MISA) visited Namibia.
In
a briefing held at the Regional Secretariat offices, Moyo and Chikakano
mentioned that the aim of their visit was to share experiences and seek
areas of cooperation with access to information (ATI) campaigns that
they want to implement in Zimbabwe.
Moyo
mentioned that the Action Campaign on ATI in Namibia could offer
guidance in terms of the challenges and successes that have come about
from this campaign.
Zimbabwe
has been one of the first Southern Africa Development Community (SADC)
counties to adopt an ATI law called the Access to Information and
Privacy Act. However, people in Zimbabwe still struggle to access
information. He explained the challenges emanating from the political
nature of Zimbabwe, especially now that they are migrating to digital
broadcasting.
Chikakano
said they would like to find out how Namibia is dealing with content
production in a digital age. Such advice would be beneficial now that
Zimbabwe is migrating to digital.
MISA
Zimbabwe appeared on Good Morning Nambia on the public broadcaster,
Namibian Broadcasting Cooperation (NBC). They also visited the Namibian
NGO Forum Trust (NANGOF) and Ministry of Information and Communication
Technology (MICT).
