BusinessLive reports that Parliament on Wednesday condemned the continued death threats directed at the ‘SABC8’ and any other witness who appeared before the inquiry into the crisis at the public broadcaster.
It emerged on Wednesday that Vuyo Mvoko, former SABC contributing editor, received a threatening text message after he testified on behalf of the SABC 8. Mvoko testified on Monday that the financially hamstrung SABC has been channelling money to ANN7, the Gupta-owned rival 24-hour news TV station. He said the SABC was essentially using its own money and resources to build ANN7. Parliament has asked police to investigate the threats directed at the journalists.
