The
Right to Know Campaign in a statement says it welcomes the judgement handed
down by the Labour Court for SABC Journalists.
Right
to Know’s Organiser, Micah Reddy in a statement says, there is a need for a
radical response to the prevailing status quo at the SABC to ensure that the
broadcaster is protected from political interference.
Reddy
says “R2K welcomes this latest victory against SABC management and in favour of
the purge SABC journalists.
This
is a victory for press freedom and basic constitutional values. That said the
battle continues, the battle to reclaim the soul of our public broadcaster
which has been steadily undermined by political interference.
The
issues run much deeper than the censorship policy and the intimidation of
journalists. The root of these problems id political interference and a lack of
respect for public broadcasting.
We have management that are in cahoots with political
factions and its destabilizing the SABC”
