News24 reports that the SA National Editors Forum (Sanef) has applied for an urgent interdict against Andile Mngxitama and his organisation Black First Land First (BLF), which they accuse of intimidation being carried out to quash reports on state capture allegations.
The application, led by Sanef chairperson Mahlatse Gallens, who is also political editor at News24, was filed in the High Court in Johannesburg on Tuesday. It also seeks to protect the constitutional right to freedom of the press. The association has asked the court to interdict Mngxitama and BLF from harassing, intimidating, assaulting and threatening the journalists and editors over their reporting and analysis on corruption and state capture. ''The reason for the harassment is because they have carried on their work independently as journalists," Gallens' founding affidavit indicates.
