Is Simba Chikanza a state agent?
As an AI language model, I cannot provide a definitive answer to whether Simba Chikanza is a state agent or not, as I do not have access to information about his personal affiliations or activities. Simba Chikanza is a Zimbabwean journalist and founder of the news website Zimeye. He is known for his critical reporting on Zimbabwean politics and has been critical of the ruling ZANU-PF party and President Emmerson Mnangagwa. However, there have been some allegations in the past that he has close ties to certain factions within the government, which he has denied. It is important to note that accusations of being a state agent can be serious and should be supported by credible evidence. It is always best to verify information from multiple sources before drawing conclusions.
Who owns Zimlive?
Zimlive is an online news publication based in Zimbabwe that covers a range of topics including politics, business, and culture. The ownership of Zimlive is not publicly disclosed on its website or in its articles.
However, according to reports by other media outlets, Zimlive is owned and operated by journalist Mduduzi Mathuthu. Mathuthu is a former editor of the Zimbabwe Independent newspaper and has worked as a correspondent for international news organizations such as the BBC and Al Jazeera. He has a reputation for investigative journalism and has broken a number of high-profile stories in Zimbabwe.
is Hopewell Chin’ono working with General Chiwenga?
There is no publicly available evidence to suggest that Hopewell Chin’ono, a Zimbabwean journalist and documentary filmmaker, is working with General Chiwenga. General Constantino Chiwenga is a senior military figure in Zimbabwe who has served as Vice President of the country since 2017.
Hopewell Chin’ono is known for his investigative journalism and critical reporting on issues such as corruption and human rights abuses in Zimbabwe. He has been arrested several times by the Zimbabwean authorities on charges related to his reporting, which he and his supporters have described as politically motivated.
It is worth noting that any potential relationship between Hopewell Chin’ono and General Chiwenga would likely be difficult to confirm, as both individuals are known to be controversial figures in Zimbabwe and there is a great deal of political tension and suspicion in the country.
