A reporter named Blessed Mhlanga works for Heart and Soul Television. The police took him to jail because they think he did something wrong. They say he talked to someone named Blessed Geza on TV. Mr. Geza wants the president of Zimbabwe to stop being president. The police believe this talk might make people fight or break things.
Mr. Geza belongs to a group called Zanu PF. He told people on TV that President Mnangagwa should quit his job right away. He said if the president does not leave, the people will make him leave using rules from their country's big book of laws.
The police searched for Mr. Mhlanga last week and asked everyone to help find him. Mr. Mhlanga said he was not hiding from anyone. On Monday, he went to the police station by himself. The police put him in jail after he arrived.
The TV company owner, Mr. Trevor Ncube, wrote a message about this. He feels very upset that Mr. Mhlanga is in jail. Mr. Ncube thinks the police are being mean to Mr. Mhlanga just because he did his job as a reporter. Mr. Ncube calls Mr. Mhlanga brave and says this scary treatment will not make him stop being a good reporter.
