A Zimbabwe correspondent for the BBC, Lewis Machipisa, has been accused of spying for the broadcasting station in Zimbabwe. The state owned weekly newspaper The Herald says that Machipisa is now working for the BBC and a London-based community radio station, SW Radio Africa. This was happening despite the "fact" that the government banned the BBC from operating in Zimbabwe, after accusations that the station was peddling "falsehoods". The paper says that Machipisa is now going "underground" in the rural areas, shooting images for the BBC, writing stories and sending them to Britain.
