Only a few day ago, ZBC News was being berated for showing the charred remains of victims of the Sunningdale fuel tanker “inferno,” and on 22 June during the 1730hrs Shona news bulletin these same people had the gall to show the body of a man hanging by the neck from a tree “in an apparent suicide,” the broadcaster reported. To “mitigate” viewer shock, the body still hanging from a tree was covered over the face with a white sheet! However, in the Nbebele bulletin that followed, someone must have come to their senses as the “hanging man” was not shown, and so it was for the 2000hrs main news.

Where the heck are these hacks trained?
