Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 30257, member: 2262"] Dr. Jenfan Muswere has asked reporters to step up their coverage of road safety issues. He believes their work helps cut down crashes and protect lives. The Information Minister shared these thoughts through his representative, Mr. George Chisoko, at the Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe Media Awards held in Harare for 2025. The Minister pointed out that Easter and Independence celebrations are coming soon. This time of year often sees more car crashes on the roads. He praised journalists for their hard work and asked them to keep writing about safety concerns. Their stories make Zimbabwe safer for everyone who travels by road. Zimbabwe Newspapers' staff took home many prizes at the event. Fatima Bulla-Musakwa earned the title of Best Consistent Reporter of the Year. Emmanuel Kafe came in second place, with Freeman Razemba taking third in that group. Razemba also won second place for Best Print Media Reporter of the Year, just ahead of Theseus Shambare, who placed third. Folake Saije from Zimpapers Radio did very well in the broadcast categories. She grabbed second place as Best Electronic Reporter of the Year for Radio and second place as Best Female Reporter of the Year in broadcasting. Star FM had strong showings, with Tanyaradzwa Kutaura taking third place among radio reporters and Rumbidzai Venge winning first place. Zimpapers also won the top award as Best Electronic Media House of the Year. This prize shows that they lead the pack in road safety news coverage. Mr. Kura Sibanda, who chairs the TSCZ board, talked about how powerful media can be for road safety education. He explained that news outlets help fight what he called the cancer of road deaths. Media can shape policies, teach the public, set important topics for discussion, share facts, and monitor safety issues. Their work protects children, mothers, and fathers from deadly crashes across the country. [/QUOTE]
