VP Masisi Launches Media Workers Union

We welcome progress that has been made by the media in the development of this country. BOMAWU was started by local journalists as an initiative aimed at advocating for the rights of those who work within the media industry.

I have no doubt it will provide a platform to hold cordial discussion on issues that impact on the lives of its members with a view of resolving their issues in a conducive and amicable manner. I take this opportunity to commend the journalists and stakeholders who made this event a success, including the donors. For our part I can assure you that Government shall take up the challenge by meeting with representatives of this union. We may have some differences, but I am confident we will find common ground as well as greater mutual understanding through such an exchange.
