ZiFM deny sabotaging Prof Moyo on political reasons
Published: 2016 February 10 06:02:01 (4187 Views)
ZiFM Stereo has refuted claims that it pulled the plug on an interview with Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development Minister Professor Jonathan Moyo due to political interference.
In a statement last night, ZiFM Stereo said the interview with Prof Moyo to discuss the government's Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) scholarship programme for A-Level pupils was deferred due to a "clash of schedules".
ZiFM was responding to media reports in which Minister Moyo was quoted savaging the commercial radio station for allegedly cancelling the interview with Ruvheneko Parirenyatwa.
Prof Moyo suggested that political machinations were behind the station's last-minute decision to decline to host him after it aired an interview with Presidential spokesman George Charamba last week in which he roundly panned Minister Moyo and other perceived opponents of Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
ZiFM also said the station had granted Prof Moyo an interview on the basis that he felt he was the one being castigated by Charamba in the interview.
