BDLive reports that seven fired SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) journalists have approached the Constitutional Court to declare their axing "unconstitutional, unlawful and invalid". They are joined by an eighth, suspended SABC staffer Vuyo Mvoko, who had not been informed by Tuesday whether his contract had been cancelled.
The so-called SABC 8 brought their urgent application on Friday, before their dismissals. Now in a supplementary affidavit, it is indicated that, prior to termination notices been delivered, the SABC 8’s attorneys "drew the attention of the SABC to the fact that any attempt to proceed with the disciplinary proceedings against them in the face of the Constitutional Court application would be unlawful and amount to constructive contempt of court".
