Zimbabwe: CFWIJ Denounces The Online Bullying Of Journalist Sophie Mokoena

The Coalition For Women In Journalism (CFWIJ) is utterly dismayed by the online bullying of journalist Sophie Mokoena by the ruling party spokesperson. Sophie Mokoena, the foreign editor for SABC, was viciously attacked online by ruling party spokesperson, Tafadzwa Mugwadi. The government spokesperson threatened to release a “bombshell” if SABC does not stop the journalist. Given the gravity and recurrence of vicious online abuse targeting female reporters, CFWIJ calls upon the Zimbabwean Government to take action against the spokesperson.
