Preferred term

political jokes  

Definition

  • In the early 2000s, the Zimbabwe government increasingly began to restrict the operation of foreign and local privately owned news media. These media often published critical reports on government's role in the growing economic and political crisis and mediated the discontent expressed by emerging civil society organizations and a new opposition party Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), which was established in 1999.
