African journalists are “stuck in a rut” of writing negative stories and should concentrate on positive things like football, Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe is reported to have said.

Mugabe is a joke

I think the man is making so much sense. The white journalists won't promote any good thing that's happening in this part of the world but carry loudspeaker for the negatives, the unfortunate thing is that our own journalists too will never promote us, we ain't asking you to lie about us but write and publicize the positives too, give the positives the hype they deserve.

Of course he has a point. When last did you see an African programme focusing on Innoson? Or on the continent's rapidly expanding middle class?
