The South African National
Editors Forum has called on all journalists to dress in black and join this
morning's picket outside the South African Broadcasting Corporation, to
show support for the suspended journalists expected to face disciplinary action
today.
At least three SABC
journalists have been suspended for disagreeing with an instruction not to
cover a picket by the Right to Know Campaign.
It’s believed three more
senior journalists have been charged with misconduct after writing a letter to SABC Chief Operations Officer Hlaudi Motsoeneng,
voicing their concerns over censorship.
Civil organisations will
picket outside the SABC's offices, both in Cape Town and Johannesburg this
morning.
Sanef’s Adriaan Basson says
journalists are voicing their support for their colleagues at the embattled public
broadcaster.
