	Priest's Sex Tape Aired 'In Public Interest' Weekend Argus July 21, 2007 http://www.capeargus.co.za/index.php?fArticleId=3944339 Zimbabwe — Zimbabwe's state broadcaster yesterday protested that there was no malice behind its airing of footage of Roman Catholic Archbishop Pius Ncube's alleged sexual encounters. Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) head Henry Muradzikwa said ZBC TV fiercely defended the decision to repeatedly air video footage of the archbishop, an outspoken government critic. "Archbishop Pius Ncube is a public figure and he is expected by society to abide by certain moral ethics," Muradzikwa said. "What ZBC did is fair comment, with no malice and for the benefit of the public," the chief executive said. Ncube became the subject of a sex scandal when he was served with court papers on Monday by a Bulawayo resident who is suing the cleric for allegedly having an adulterous affair with his estranged wife. Some pictures, taken with a hidden camera that was reportedly placed by a private investigator, have already been posted on the internet and published in newspapers, ZBC said. Ncube's lawyers in a letter on Wednesday called on state television station to stop broadcasting the pictures, which they said were offensive and defamatory, according to reports. But Muradzikwa said ZBC was prepared to defend in court its decision to air the pictures. - Sapa-dpa
