Focus groups and semi-structured interviews are two qualitative data collection methods that enable the researcher to acquire information directly from participants and ask follow-up questions for clarification. The study also explores how the role of media in Zimbabwe has been politicized, the function of media practioners in the promoting the AfCFTA and the effects of the politicization media houses in Zimbabwe towards influencing the implementation of AfCFTA.
