Oracle Media Productions Limited is a Zambian privately owned limited company incorporated on September 15, 2016 and registered with the Office of the Registrar of Companies and Business Names at Ibex Hill, Lusaka. The company was established as the publishing entity for The Mast, an independent Lusaka daily newspaper founded as a successor to The Post, a prominent Zambian independent newspaper that was forced into liquidation in 2016 following a government tax dispute. According to Lusaka Times, citing a PACRA search conducted at the time, the shareholders were Mutinta Mazoka-M’membe, wife of veteran journalist and Post founder Fred M’membe, and Frank Sibbuku. Mutinta Mazoka-M’membe served as Managing Director as of 2016. The company appears in Zambian court proceedings as “Oracle Media Production Limited trading as The Mast Newspaper” — with the name rendered inconsistently across official sources. Shortly after The Mast began publishing in late 2016, the Zambia Revenue Authority declared it an illegal publication on the grounds that Oracle Media was not registered for tax purposes, and the provisional liquidator of The Post accused Mazoka-M’membe and Sibbuku of fraudulently converting Post property to Oracle Media’s use, demanding 5 million Zambian kwacha in compensation and threatening to petition for the winding-up of Oracle Media Productions Limited.
