Constitution of Zimbabwe which guarantees that all state-owned media of communication must be free to determine independently the editorial content of their broadcasts or other communications. 7.3. Thirdly, in terms of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Media Coverage of Elections) Regulations, 2008, s10 thereof, remedies are provided to participants in an election who allege malpractice or breach of the law by state media of communication. It was open to the applicant, in terms of those regulations, to lodge an appeal with the Electoral Commission against any decision of any stateowned media institution that he considered to be outside the parameters of the law. This includes any questions of bias as alleged by the applicant. A further right to appeal to the Electoral Court from any decision of the Electoral Commission on the issue is afforded, all in a context of very speedy and effective process of resolution of any grievances that may arise during an election period viz. media coverage. It is common cause that the 23rd respondent never received any appeal from the applicant with respect to media coverage during the electoral period in terms of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Media Coverage of Elections) Regulations, 2008. 8. Ad Para 4.5.4- 4.5.5 This is denied. 8.1. The applicant makes a bare allegation for which he proffers no evidence. The Electoral Commission is not involved in the selection and appointment of polling agents by candidates.
