2. Proposed Zimbabwe Bill
Speech in and outside of Zimbabwe is clearly not free. BBC reports that Zimbabwe is planning to introduce a law to punish people who are deemed “unpatriotic” because they criticize the country when abroad. People seen as unpatriotic for allegedly undermining the national interest abroad could face criminal charges if the measures being considered are passed. The move is part of a plan to improve the government’s international reputation, but campaigners and opposition parties argue it is another “vehicle for oppression”, in the words of Dr Madhuku.

If you own an android cell phone, we have good news to share. You can now join Clubhouse and join in all the fun! TechCrunch reports that Clubhouse finally has an Android app that you can download from the Play Store — provided you live in the U.S. The voice-based social network launched its beta Android app on the Play Store for users in the U.S. on Sunday and said it will gradually make the new app available in other English-speaking countries and then the rest of the world. The social network, valued at about $4 billion in its most recent fundraise, launched as an iPhone-only app last year. The app quickly gained popularity last year, attracting several high-profile celebrities, politicians, investors and entrepreneurs.
