THE country’s leading integrated media company — Zimpapers — has hailed women for their contribution to national development with the company set to showcase a number of activities on its platforms in line with tomorrow’s International Women’s Day.
In a statement, Zimpapers Group Public Relations manager Ms Beatrice Tonhodzayi said the stable appreciates the role played by women, particularly its female staffers.
“Women are important to us as a business, we know the critical role they play as mothers — without them none of us would be here. But beyond that important role we are also in business today because of the hard work put in by our female staffers and we just want to take this opportunity to celebrate them all,” reads part of the statement.
Ms Tonhodzayi said Zimpapers would celebrate women in a special way throughout the month of March with the Digital and Publishing Division, where the Group’s newspapers fall, giving special discounts.
“All female owned businesses and all advertising to do with women will get a 25 percent discount for advertising in any of the Group’s newspapers. The Group’s radio division will feature female voices on air on the 8th of March as a way of allowing women to showcase their excellence,” she said.
Also, Star FM radio station will run with an all- female line up on air while Capitalk100.4 FM will highlight and celebrate institutions that are equal opportunity employers.
Capitalk FM has also partnered the Canadian Embassy to focus on the work that the consulate is doing in promoting gender equality and the advancement of the Girl Child.
Nyaminyami FM, the voice of Mashonaland West and Manicaland’s Diamond FM will both carry features celebrating women from their communities.
