EFF Vs SANEF .Hails Equality court ruling

The EFF respected Today's  judgment where the Equality Court sitting in Pretoria rejected the SA National Editors' Forum application to block  party pioneer Julius Malema and the EFF from criticizing  journalists.
"Journalists who take sides utilizing journalism as a stage to seek propaganda , should never be viewed as journalists, They should be treated as having favored one side and never again acting in the expert interests of reporting" the party said in an statement. 
 Judge Daisy Molefe said their grumblings fell outside the extent of the Equality Act as Journalism was a picked career choice. In contrast to race or sex, as a profession decision can't be what characterizes one's association according to what is imagined by the Equality Act
She further commented  that the idea of journalists deserve special protection as a class of having a place with their picked calling, was prior dismissed by previous Constitutional Judge Edwin Cameron.
