TOPSTAR has removed Prime Television from all its platforms in accordance with Information Minister Dora Siliya’s directive that all government entities must cease any business with the station.
In a letter addressed to the Prime TV CEO and dated March 27, acting Topstar chief executive officer Liu Yingnan said since government had some shares in Topstar, it could not continue to host Prime TV.
“…In view of the above outlined statement and in compliance with the same, Topstar Communications Company Limited, a company in which government (through ZNBC) holds shares is hereby ceasing all forms of cooperation with yourselves by removing the station from our platform with immediate effect. We wish you well in your future endeavors,” stated Yingnan.
Siliya’s directive came after Prime TV proprietor Gerald Shawa refused to air free coronavirus adverts, a position for which he has since apologized.

Our government is very evil. Siliya is being inhuman by directing topstar to abandon Prime TV. Why is this government working against it’s own people? Is this how power really corrupts people? If Prime TV goes under, the PF will lose more supporters.
Obviously prime tv used to pay for being on the platform. The simple question is, is nt government also loosing revenue?
Can leaders think before making emotional policy directives!
There professionals who can make policy analysis and advise appropriately, or we have selfish visionless people in government
