President Mnangagwa commissioned new broadcast gear at Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation's Montrose Studios in Bulawayo, and the package includes two TV studios, eight radio setups, a digital playout center, and Luzibo Radio for educational content. The whole thing is part of Phase Two of the country's digital migration project that's ditching analog signals per International Telecommunications Union standards, and Minister Jenfan Muswere handled the ribbon-cutting ceremony on behalf of the president.
Mnangagwa said the upgrades aren't just about fancy equipment but about protecting national identity and letting locals control their narrative instead of relying on outside perspectives. He wants ZBC to compete globally while fighting misinformation, and he pushed the ministry to speed up similar work at Pockets Hill and Central FM to finish the analog-to-digital conversion.
The government also rolled out a new satellite news van for real-time event coverage across provinces. Mnangagwa stressed that modernized facilities need matching workforce development and creative industry support to hit Vision 2030 goals while tackling social problems like substance abuse.
