Cape Town - Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's government is jamming
broadcasts to Zimbabwe from a London-based pro-democracy radio station, an
independent media monitoring agency said on Sunday.

The Zimbabwe Media Monitoring Project (MMPZ) said the government was using
sophisticated Chinese equipment to block out broadcasts from Short Wave
Radio Africa, run by a group of exiled Zimbabwean press freedom activists.

I wonder if the Chinese are providing the jamming tapes too. If so, it
must be strange for the Zimbabweans to hear loud Chinese folk music on
shortwave. "What's that weird noise?..."

Seriously, Mugabe and his government are in big trouble from what I've
heard, and they've been pulling out all the stops in order to hang on.
They've driven the remaining whites out of the country and shut down
farm production resulting in food shortages. They've relentlessly
persecuted anybody who might criticize Mugabe.
