Mduduzi Mathuthu
Mduduzi Mathuthu (born January 22, 1981 in Filabusi, Zimbabwe), is a Zimbabwean newspaper publisher and editor based in the United Kingdom. He is considered a pioneer in online news publishing in Zimbabwe.

Background
Mathuthu was educated in Zimbabwe and the United Kingdom. He holds a Diploma in Advanced International Journalism, a Certificate in Web Designing and a Bachelor of Laws (Hons) degree. In 2000 he joined the Dispatch newspaper in Zimbabwe's second largest city of Bulawayo, and would later join The Daily News as their main correspondent in the Bulawayo Bureau. The Daily News was the country's biggest selling newspaper and was bombed twice before it was eventually closed down by the government in 2003.

As a correspondent for the Daily News, Mathuthu was arrested repeatedly on what the newspaper called "trumped up charges" ranging from "trespassing at a police station to writing stories likely to cause fear, alarm, and despondency". In November 2001, Mathuthu and a colleague, photographer Grey Chitiga, were arrested after they allegedly witnessed the torture of a man by opposition supporters. . Zimbabwe's state television reported that the men faced "kidnap charges" for being present when a man was beaten to confess that he had taken part in a "government-backed" killing of war veterans leader, Cain Nkala. The Daily News said Mathuthu and Chitiga had in fact been arrested to prevent them from publishing an interview with an MDC activist it said claimed to know the full details of Nkala's murder. The case, like all others Mathuthu faced, was dropped before it went to court.

As a government crackdown on journalists from the private media escalated, Mathuthu said he feared for his life, adding that "seeing men with fierce and lethal looks marching into our offices and demanding to talk to me at their offices had become customary". Also in 2001, Mathuthu, Daily News reporter Collin Chiwanza, photographer Urginia Mauluka, and their driver, Trust Mpofu, were assaulted by war veterans in Hwedza, 60 km south-east of the capital, Harare. The journalists had gone to a farm after the death of two war veterans in clashes with a white farmer. Several veterans accused the journalists of being "sent by the English and the MDC". The journalists, who were beaten with bicycle chains, kicked and had their possessions -- including a camera -- taken from them. They were saved by by a Zimbabwean army soldier who was guarding the place who threatened to shoot the assailants. Mathuthu and Mauluka came worse off after sustaining multiple bruises.

On an ostrich farm in Nyamandlovu, also in 2001, Mathuthu, was assaulted by war veterans in front of police officers. His paper accused police of doing nothing to stop the attackers. They accused the journalist of having a critical tone regarding the land redistribution programme. He was left with a cut above the left eye and pains in his chest.

On February 11, 2002, two petrol bombs were hurled at the Daily News office in Bulawayo overnight. The attackers pasted President Robert Mugabe's campaign posters on the front of the offices. Overpowered security guards were told to leave the posters in place or the building would be burnt down. The attack came a month before Zimbabweans voted in a presidential election in March 2002, and on the day that European Union observers arrived to monitor the country's elections. Mathuthu left Bulawayo and went to Harare on the same day where he met the head of the EU's observer mission Pierre Schori and briefed him over the bomb attack. Mathuthu flew out to the United Kingdom on February 11, saying the choice was between "being a living coward and a dead hero". Within days, Schori followed Mathuthu out after the Zimbabwe government refused to renew his visa. The rest of the EU observers were later withdrawn, precipitating sanctions against Zimbabwe.

United Kingdom
Mathuthu, through a scholarship awarded by the Thomson Foundation in Cardiff, Wales, would obtain an Advanced Diploma in International Journalism and a Certificate in Web Designing which would later shape shape his media career. Mathuthu graduated with a Bachelor of Laws (Hons) degree from the University of Glamorgan in 2008.

Zimbabwe Internet Revolution
With the Daily News, considered Zimbabwe's only source of independent news now closed, Mathuthu did not return to Zimbabwe, instead choosing to start an internet publication called New Zimbabwe.com in June 2003. The website tagged itself as "the first rolling news site updated 24/7". That self-given title has not been challenged, although several new Zimbabwean online news sites have since emerged to challenge New Zimbabwe.com. The exact traffic details for New Zimbabwe.com are unknown, but a 2007 report said it had 500 000 hits per day, "and has grown to command the biggest market share after toppling the state-run Herald newspaper in late 2005, according to the web traffic site, Alexa.com".

The novelty of New Zimbabwe.com's success has, perhaps, been the discussion forums/message boards. With 35,000 registered members they are the most popular forum for free expression about Zimbabwean issues. The forums have provided news content about the Zimbabwean mood for respected news organisations like The Guardian and Reuters. In a polarised Zimbabwean society, New Zimbabwe.com's editorial stance which neither favours the Zimbabwe government nor the main opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has infuriated either side of activists who claim to pay less attention to the news site than the forums.

Editor
Mathuthu first became editor of a monthly magazine called the Fusion Voice in 2004. He quit within two months saying: "In principle, the paper is a noble idea but there is an overbearing ideological confusion. There were a lot of nice people there but I wasn't enjoying it. There are many other things which made it virtually impossible for me to continue my association with that paper. I have explained my reasons to the newspaper owners and everyone can move on."

In July 2007, Mathuthu announced the launch of the New Zimbabwe print newspaper. The free distribution newspaper would be targeted at the Southern African community living in the United Kingdom. The project was a partnership with Jeff Madzingo, CEO of Destiny Financial Services Ltd. Mathuthu said the paper was "a natural progression, we have reached that stage where we need to explore opportunities in the print industry. The growth of Zimbabwean companies in the Diaspora affords us a unique opportunity to reach out to them and deliver their products and services to their target market in a way that was previously never imagined." .

Dead Frontier
Dead Frontier is a free to play, browser based zombie shooter game. This game is currently in open beta. Currently, this game has only six players max for each game, since this is still in open beta. Players can trade with other players and travel into the city. In the city, players can explore and search bodies for money, weapons, ammo, or armor. The player can use up to three weapons at one time, although there are over 60 weapons in the game. Some of the classes in the game have special skills, such as the doctor can administer treatments if the doctor is a certain level. The forum is a large part of the game, as players can advertise their services, like a engineer selling his repair services, or players can advertise items they are selling. The game revolves around a survivor outpost called 'Nastya's Outpost', where all the players call home, and is an important part of the game, as it is the only way to level up, and interact with other players. Currently at the time, some aspects of Multiplayer and Player versus player (PVP), are buggy, and the creator is working on a stable release.

Many of the planned features are:
 * Fixed Multiplayer
 * Barricades
 * Clan Bases
 * Missions
 * Outpost attacks

Johnny joined the Army Rerseves where he served mulitiple short-term tours with the Army Reserves as a Army Reserve Recruiter and Guidance Counselor. He believed he could make a difference by being known as a reputable and honest recruiter. He accomplished that. Johnny also served in law enforcement from 1978 - 2007, holding the rank of patrolman, through Chief of Police. Although Rife only served in part time capacities, he delivered a full time difference. In 2007, Chief Rife hired the first African-American Police Officer, which to this day, has caused a lot of waves within the community. While serving the community as a police officer, Rife also was credited with writing several "Spanish for Cops" books for police officers. Rife also made a difference, by teaching his "Spanish for Cops" at various police academies throughout his home state of Pennsylvania. To this day, he is a member of the PA Chiefs of Police Association in Harrisburg, PA. Rife can be seen always giving out teddy bears, or some token of appreciation to children while on duty. He always had a heart for the children, whose parents made wrong decisions, but the child is feeling the crime. Johnny was always the "peoples' cop". But his making a difference doesn't stop with law enforcement. Rife has written more than 8 Spanish textbooks for private schools, which are being used at various schools throughout the country. Johnny's books can also be seen in Mexico, as students are learning English, through his Spanish books. Let's not forget about his time he spent training doubles for movie icon, Jean-Cladue Van Damme.
