Cape Times reports that SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) contributing editor Vuyo Mvoko was told he could have his position back if he retracted everything he had written and said about the public broadcaster.
The offer, which Mvoko turned down, was made on Thursday, just moments before he was due to appear in court to challenge the broadcaster over his dismissal. He and seven other SABC journalists were fired in the past month for challenging the broadcaster’s editorial policy. Mvoko was axed after he wrote an article for The Star criticising the censorship and culture of bullying at the corporation. While his seven colleagues were reinstated this week, Mvoko was not. He then applied to the court to have his contract enforced after the SABC said he would no longer be used to produce programmes until their dispute was settled. A ruling in the case is expected on Tuesday.
