The Star reports that axed SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) contributing editor Vuyo Mvoko is confident that he has a strong case against the public broadcaster and that it will have to reinstate him.  

Speaking on Tuesday, Mvoko said that the corporation wasn't contesting any of the contentious allegations he had made against it.  His case will be heard on Thursday in the Johannesburg High Court.  Mvoko, who was hired by the SABC on a three-year contract which ends in March 2018, wrote an article for The Star criticising the censorship and culture of bullying at the corporation.  He and seven other SABC journalists were fired last month for challenging the broadcaster's editorial policy.  While his colleagues were reinstated, Mvoko was not.  He 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.
