Zimbabwe

A community portal about Zimbabwe with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Zimbabwe, officially the Republic of Zimbabwe, and formerly known as the Republic of Rhodesia, is a landlocked country in the southern part of the continent of Africa, between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers. It borders South Africa to the south, Botswana to the west, Zambia to the northwest, and Mozambique to the east. The name Zimbabwe derives from "dzimba dzemabwe" meaning "houses of stone" in the Shona language. Its use as the country's name is a tribute to Great Zimbabwe, site of the capital of the Munhumutapa Empire.

Hackers bring down Zimbabwe's Herald Newspaper Website

Written by wafaz75 on

Some call it 'The Horrible' .....!

So, could it be the reason why somebody has crippled the government's propaganda machine?
Anywhere, I wonder how many Zimbabweans really care. Maybe the advertisers who have been oiling this government's mouth-piece and making money out of Zimbabwe living in the diaspora, forced to flee problems in their own country.

The Herald newspaper's website has been down since it was hacked over the weekend. Currently the website will re-direct you to the Sunday Mail website another arm of the government's propaganda machine. The state run Herald's website had all it's links replaced with the words 'Gukurahundi' in reference to the government's clampdown on the people of Matebeleland in the 1980s when a lot of civilians were killed by the Korean trained soldiers.

The state owned Herald has always been on a campaign to mislead the people of Zimbabwe ever since the government banned other independent daily newspapers. It is well know for wasting tax payer's money printing pro government propaganda.

Some Zimbabweans oppressed for a long time, and forced to flee hunger and starvation in their own homeland. Hunger caused by the government sanctioned land invasions by those thugs who masquerade as war veterans.
Tired of the current Zanu PF regime rigging elections, using violence and torture to remain in power. Banging on and on about our sovereignty, what sovereignty is there when you are not free to live in your own country?

Tired of the usual propaganda rubbish we get from Zanu PF and it's misguided supporters have been trying to cripple the Zanu PF propaganda machine which could probably explain why 'The Horrible' website is down. Phone numbers of Zanu PF and government officials and their sympathisers have been posted in forums and chart rooms, and blogs have been created in an effort to cripple the regime's propaganda machine.

I wonder how many wish, Western news agencies like SKY News and Al Jazeera could stop giving these so called 'government minister' air time to further their Zanu PF propaganda. While denying the peace loving people of Zimbabwe their right to choose a president of their own choice.

I'm always interested in your opinions, feel free to leave your comment on the hacking of the Herald website and any other matters.
