TMG Digital reports that the Labour Court hearing dealing with the dismissals of four SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) journalists was postponed on Thursday because the public broadcaster was not prepared.  

Counsel for the SABC told the court that he had not been instructed by the broadcaster and had therefore not filed any legal papers responding to the application by the four journalists.  The matter will return to court on Friday at 12.30. The SABC will cover the legal costs of Thursday's court appearances.  Trade union Solidarity has launched an application to set aside the SABC's decision to dismiss journalists Foeta Krige‚ Suna Venter‚ Krivani Pillay and Jacques Steenkamp.
