Three Sky News drivers have been jailed in Zimbabwe  after being caught with the broadcaster’s satellite dish, according to Media Guardian.

A Zimbabwean court has sentenced the three South African men to six months imprisonment for handing illegal broadcasting equipment, after they were caught at a police roadblock with a satellite dish marked with the network’s stickers.

Sky News said it was appealing the “unjust” decision.
