The Communications Workers Union today said the recent ruling of the Press Ombudsman in the matter involving Minister of Communication Dina Pule shows that , to root out bad elements in the media.

A local newspaper was cleared by the Press Ombudsman for breaching the Press Code.

CWU National Spokesperson Matankana Mothapo said they are of the view that the Sunday Times has broken the conduct of the company by leaking certain information to deal with the integrity of some leaders in Government.

“The outcome against Minister Pule is not fair,” added Mathapo.
