Harare – Two state-run press groups in Namibia and Zimbabwe have teamed up to launch a new weekly regional paper for southern Africa, state media reported on Saturday. The Southern Times was launched late on Friday at Zimbabwe’s premier north-western resort town of Victoria Falls, state radio and the daily Herald said. Publishers say they anticipate a readership of 340 million people for the Sunday paper, but did not specify when the first issue will roll off the presses. The paper will have its editorial offices in the Namibian capital Windhoek, with the assistant editor of Zimbabwe’s state-run Herald, Moses Magadza, heading the weekly as editor. “For many years the African story has been told to the world by those who only yesterday sought to undermine and plunder the continent and despised everything that was Africa,” Herbert Nkala, chairperson of Zimabwe’s state publisher, Zimpapers told guests at the ceremony. He said former colonialists distort facts on Africa. “Colonial media institutions can never be and should never be relied upon to report factually about Africa,” he said. “Reading about Africa in the Western media, one only reads about scorched earth, hopelessness, despair, hunger and disease,” Nkala said. The launch ceremony was attended by the two country’s information ministers Jonathan Moyo of Zimbabwe and Nangolo Mbumba of Namibia, as well as business executives, journalists and diplomats from the region.
