Zimbabwean, Trevor Ncube is a one of Southern Africa’s most powerful newspaper publishers. His media empire spans Zimbabwe and South Africa where he owns newspapers, printing presses and distribution networks.. and he says he now looking to expand his business further into Africa. Trevor Ncube started working in Zimbabwean newsrooms - writing and editing - but he says he soon realised he prefered being behind the scenes.
He now owns sister publications The Independent and the Standard in Zimbabwe as well as Mail and Guardian newspaper in South Africa. A self-described idealist Ncube believes in the power of the press to change and influences societies for the good. After years of restrictive press laws and harassement of the media, he says the time is now right to launch a new daily newspaper in Zimbabwe
“In the past ten years, journalists have been seen as the enemies of the state, newspaper publishers have been hounded, foreign journalist have been hounded. This means we have existed in an environment where we were seen as a group of people to be eliminated, arrested, but still we expanded the democratic space and provided a platform where people talk to each other, where the nation looks at itself and decided which paths to follow. I’m very optimistic, about the short term,” commented Ncube.
