The South African Broadcasting Corporation told the Independent
Communications Authority of South Africa that it does not believe that its
ruling on the broacasters’s decision not to air visuals of destructive protests
actually constitutes an order.
It sent a formal letter to the communications regulator, claiming
that the judgment it has been given, appears to only be a recommendation and
not a ruling.
In a formal letter to Icasa, the SABC’s lawyers say the judgment they
have been given is from Icasa’s complaints commission, which makes
recommendations to Icasa’s council.
On Monday, Icasa said the SABC had to immediately rescind its editorial
policy change that said it would no longer show images of violent and
destructive protests.
