GEOFFREY Nyarota, a prominent journalist and editor, has threatened to sue NewsDay for $1 million over a letter to the editor published by the newspaper in December last year.
Staff reporter In the letter titled Is NewsDay MDC-T Mouthpiece, the writer of the letter is alleged to have insinuated that Nyarota was a “Gukurahundi brand manager” in much the same way NewsDay was to the MDC-T party.
“It is the considered opinion of our client that the statement contained in the letter is offensive, untruthful, malicious and that his professional reputation was seriously injured while his character was damaged,” Nyarota’s lawyers said in a letter of demand dated March 1 2013.
