WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Harare – A Zimbabwean journalist banned from practising for a year by a government commission has launched an appeal in the High Court to have the ban lifted, his lawyer said on Friday.
Brian Hungwe, a former correspondent for the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) who now is a freelancer, was accused by the government’s media and information commission of practising without mandatory accreditation.
“We have filed an urgent chamber application in the High Court for an order to declare the ban null and void and that my client be authorised to practise on the same terms as other journalists,” lawyer Selby Hwacha said.
“The ban is clearly unlawful. Our client applied for his accreditation in 2007 but it was denied without explanation.”
Hwacha said Hungwe applied for accreditation in January 2007 and in July he was ordered to appear for a hearing in connection with the application.
But without appearing before any disciplinary body, Hungwe received a letter from the media commission saying it had found him guilty of breaching the section of the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
Following the passing of the media law in 2002, several foreign correspondents have been thrown out of the country and journalists from the independent press arrested and detained.
Under the law, journalists can only practise after getting accreditation from the media and information commission.
Failure to get accredited carries a jail sentence of up to two years, but there have been no convictions so far. – Sapa-AFP
