News24 reports that deputy minister of communications Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams told journalists on Wednesday that nobody must be victimised at the SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC).  

Speaking during a visit to the IEC centre in East London she said:  "Nobody must be victimised.  Nobody must think they are above the law.  Everybody has to act within the mandates that have been put in place."  Ndabeni-Abrahams indicated that the communications ministry was waiting for a report from the board on the situation at the SABC.  Eight SABC journalists were fired for speaking out against a policy banning the airing of footage of violent protests.  Seven of them were later reinstated after taking the public broadcaster to the Labour Court.
