MISA Zimbabwe State of the Media Report 2018
In his inauguration speech on 24 November 2017 following Mugabe’s ouster, President Mnangagwa, said he would strengthen and ensure the pillars of democracy are respected in Zimbabwe. This raised hope that he would move with speed and implement outstanding socio-economic and political reforms ahead of the 2018 elections. It is common cause that the elections came without implementation of the envisaged reforms.

Alert
Jestina Mukoko granted bail; Shadreck Manyere rearrested, denied bail
Incident details
Jestina Mukoko, Shadreck Manyere journalist(s)Appearing on behalf of the State, Chris Mutangadura, told the court that there had been communication between the defence counsel and the attorney general, and the latter had consented to the bail of all the accused persons with the exception of freelance photojournalist Shadreck Manyere, and Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) activists Gandhi Mudzingwa and Kisimusi Dhlamini.
The State argued that Manyere, Mudzingwa, and Dhlamini could not be granted bail since they had a pending application lodged with the High Court after their re-arrest. The State also made an application for the warrant of liberation in respect of the accused persons and these were duly granted by the magistrate.
In her ruling the magistrate noted that Mukoko and the other accused persons would be recommitted to bail with the same conditions that had previously been in place.
