Tai said this while giving oral evidence before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services chaired by Binga North MP, Prince Sibanda (MDC-Alliance) on Friday. He said: ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

Although ZBC remained a public broadcaster, the commercialisation effect lost its grant component from the funding scheme. > A snap survey in the region and beyond showed that public broadcasters receive handsome Government grants and collect licensing fees in their funding model. Tai argued that the slot occupied and utilised by the Government diaries on the various available ZBC platforms and channels constitutes 80 per cent of the corporation’s operational costs. He added that the meaning of ZBC’s national mandate has been misunderstood as this does not mean that Government departments and ministries can use the corporation’s services for free. *More: The Herald* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
