“Zimbabwe Media Council joins the rest of the media fraternity in wishing Mr Luke Tamborinyoka a speedy recovery after a near fatal traffic accident over the weekend. Mr Tamborinyoka, a renowned professional journalist who played a positive role in the establishment of the Zimbabwe Media Commission, has always been a passionate colleague when it comes to representing workers’ rights. This was seen during his tenure as secretary-general of The Zimbabwe Union of Journalists from 2001-2003,” read part of the statement.
