The situation has changed now, thanks to all who signed and for your support

There is acute foreign currency shortage in Zimbabwe at the moment, just as there are shortages of everything. The only place where it is readily available is on the black market and it’s been known for the government to resort to any means to get their hands on foreign currency and we are in no doubt they use the ZBC as a conduit of acquiring the currency.

We, the undersigned, respectfully call on internet broadcaster Jumptv to consider pulling the plug on the ZBC, as doing business with the ZBC helps prop up this repressive regime since they pay the ZBC royalties in much needed foreign currency, thereby prolonging continued suffering of Zimbabwean citizens.

This petition is now closed.
