Zongwani was appointed to fill in the vacancy left by the departure of Phenyo Butale, who resigned his position in the organisation at the end of January to join the Freedom of Expression Institute in South Africa.

In a press statement made available by the Chapter, MISA-Botswana chairperson, Modise Maphanyane, welcomed Zongwani's appointment, adding that he hoped that he would continue to stand up for media and human Rights in the SADC Region.

"Mr. Zongwani brings to MISA invaluable experience in the media fraternity, having served with distinction at Botswana Television before proceeding to join the Department of Information Technology under E-Government Programme as a project manager, after which, he became the strategy manager," said Maphanyane.
