ZUJ is saddened to learn of the arrest and detention of Zimbo Live journalist Pearlagia Mupurwa under the Cyber and Data Protection Act for allegedly “transmitting false data.”
Interviewing communities and reporting their claims is a core media function, not a criminal offence. She was arrested following a report made by businessman Steven Mutumhe who alleges inaccuracies in Pearlagia's interview with community members.
Members of society who wield power and influence should not weaponise the law to intimidate journalists, silence public interest reporting, and shield themselves from public scrutiny.
Using criminal charges to resolve disputes over alleged defamation is a clear abuse of the law and a direct attack on media freedom, freedom of expression, and the public’s right to know.
The Cyber and Data Protection Act, in its current form, gags the media and violates constitutional rights. It must be urgently reviewed and aligned with democratic principles. Disputes over reputational harm belong in civil courts, not police cells.
