The High Court interdict against the SABC's policy to not show footage of violent protests will be used in today's Labour Court case in which four of the employees that were fired by the broadcaster will be challenging their dismissal.

The SABC this week sacked journalists for disagreeing with a decision to censor coverage of protests before the disciplinary cases against some of them had been concluded.

Seven SABC reporters were fired this week.

The eighth person was freelance journalist Vuyo Mvoko, whose contract was terminated.
