Three years ago, three university students were at the cusp of their journalism careers, looking forward to starting their journeys in newsrooms in Zimbabwe. However, they met with unforeseen roadblocks.
Nicole Kurebwasweka couldn’t get placement for the industrial attachment unit of her journalism course at the University of Zimbabwe. The production department of the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation turned her down, saying they had a preference for male producers.
“A senior manager told me that the department was reserved for men and advised me to host children’s programmes instead,” Kurebwasweka told
AWiM News.
Rose Gwandu, who was also looking for industrial attachment, couldn’t find a newsroom that cared about the issues that affect women. She found that most media houses were male-dominated, favoured hard news and barely paid attention to the gender lens.

Following the devastating tropical Cyclone Idai that hit Mozambique from 14 to 15 March 2019 and moved to Zimbabwe and Malawi, the UNESCO Regional Office for Southern Africa (ROSA) commissioned two rapid assessments on national media disaster preparedness in countries affected by Cyclone Idai. The two assessment reports titled, “An assessment of Malawi Media in Disaster Risk Reduction: The case of Cyclone IDAI” and “Response to Cyclone IDAI by the Media in Zimbabwe: An assessment” were launched during the Media Workshop on reporting disasters held on 10 March 2021.
The publications show that the media in both Malawi and Zimbabwe had some challenges in reporting on the cyclone particularly prior to and during the disaster. Lack of adequate resources and need for capacity building on reporting natural disasters were identified as major contributing factors.
