The Zimbabwean

Founded by Wilf Mbanga in 2005, it was edited in London and printed in South Africa, near the border with Zimbabwe.[3] With monetary assistance from the European Union, Mbanga founded The Zimbabwean, a newspaper featuring stories provided by in-country correspondents, edited in London, and printed in South Africa, close to the Zimbabwean border.[5] Within five years, The Zimbabwean had a daily print run of 150,000, the majority of which was exported to Zimbabwe itself.However, in June 2008, the country's government re-classified the newspaper as a luxury, imposing a 55% tax on its import from South Africa.[9] The campaign was launched in March 2009, using politically charged slogans and outdoor advertising, and became successful immediately[10] both in Southern Africa[11] and internationally.
