Congratulations to the Zimbabwean, which has won an award for innovation in the 2005 Highway Africa awards for innovative use of new media in Africa. Last night's award ceremony was televised live across the continent by SABC Africa.
The Zimbabwean's publisher, Wilf Mbanga, whose Daily News was closed down by Robert Mugabe's regime in 2003, said he was delighted to have won the award just eight months after launching the paper. He thanked "our African colleagues" for their recognition and paid tribute to the Zimbabwean's contributors - refugees living all over the world who work free of charge.
Mbanga also thanked the Guardian and Kitsite for their help in designing the Zimbabwean's website.
