Maroela Media reports that the SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has suspended three staff members in its news room with immediate effect for allegedly broadcasting audio and video material of violent protests.
According to a reliable source, the three senior staffers were individually called in on Wednesday afternoon to sign letters acknowledging their suspensions for ignoring a direct order. The order relates to chief operating officer Hlaudi Motsoeneng’s announcement earlier this month that the SABC would no longer broadcast images or audio of protestors damaging or setting alight to public property. The three were apparently also told not to have contact with other staff members and not to leave Johannesburg. They were immediately escorted from the building and had their access cards removed.
