Dennis Jiriyengwa registered his complaint with the MCC over an article published by The Manica Post on 15 July 2016 headlined, “Detective Savaged”.

The complainant was concerned, stating that the newspaper should avoid using gruesome images as “gory images on the front page are quite disturbing not only for the reader but minors as well”.

The complainant was demanding an apology from the newspaper and was urging the newspaper to avoid using such images in the future as they are not only gory but also have the potential to fan hate speech and trigger violence.

Status: Finalised

The newspaper was cautioned on the use of graphic images.
