Jonathan Moyo refused to comment on weekend reports that President Thabo Mbeki had said Zimbabwe would change its tough media laws, following talks with South Africa and Nigeria. But his boss in the ruling Zanu PF politburo, Nathan Shamuyarira, was surprised at Moyo’s refusal to comment. The Zanu PF secretary for information and publicity said Moyo should comment "since he is the one who piloted the media law".
