sabcThe Star reports that SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) news anchor and contributing editor Vuyo Mvoko will have to wait until Tuesday for his case to be heard in the High Court in Johannesburg.  

His counsel agreed to re-enrol the case for next week after the judge, as well as the lawyers for the SABC, questioned the urgency of the application.  Mvoko applied to the court for the enforcement of his contract after the SABC said he would no longer be used to produce programmes until their dispute was settled.  His was the eighth head to roll in the wake of internal resistance to the decision to censor violent protest footage and criticism of the SABC.  He was not mentioned in the SABC statement on Wednesday reinstating seven of the axed journalists.  Mvoko was not a full-time SABC employee and worked on contract as a contributing editor.
