Operation Dzikisai Madhishi

Operation Dzikisai Madhishi (Shona, Pull down your satellite dish) was a 2008 operation of the Military of Zimbabwe to pull down private home satellite dishes. These dishes are primarily used to view e.tv, SABC, Botswana Television and DSTV as alternatives to the state-owned Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation. It began in Matabeleland South in June 2008 and spread soon after to other provinces, carried out by attaches of the Central Intelligence Organisation, Zimbabwe Republic Police, Zimbabwe National Army and youth militia.[1]
