The ruling Zanu PF party is developing a social media policy aimed at regulating online behavior among its members. The move seeks to address issues such as disrespect towards party leadership, dissemination of fake news, and activities that threaten party unity and cohesion.

In an interview with the media, on December 3, 2024, Zanu PF National Political Commissar, Cde Munyaradzi Machacha confirmed the initiative, stating that the policy is expected to be finalized and implemented by January 2025.

“We should have a policy in place to govern members’ conduct in the social media space, particularly on WhatsApp groups, as early as January next year,” said Cde Machacha.

The decision comes in response to growing concerns about unsanctioned meetings and the misuse of social media to spread misinformation.
