Three of SABC journalists have been suspend for allegedly disagreeing with an instruction not to cover a Right to Know campaign protest against a decision announced by the Public Broadcaster not to show visuals of violent protest.

Meanwhile, Right to Know Campaign Communications Officer Busi Matabane says in a statement, this latest move by management is outrageous.

She added that this latest purge, at a time of growing concern about the state of the broadcaster and an ICASA hearing into SABC censorship, makes it clear that Hlaudi has only contempt for those who work under him, for ethos and ethics of public broadcasting, and for the public to whom he ought to account.

Matabane emphasided that they demand the removal of Hlaudi before he can do further damage to the SABC.
