News24 reports that the SA National Editors' Forum (Sanef) has condemned a robbery at a newly launched broadcast station in Houghton, Johannesburg.

Robbers who made off with equipment, including computers and television screens, held INX Prime employees at gunpoint as they ransacked the station on Monday night. No one was injured. Sanef chairperson Sbu Ngalwa said the forum was concerned about the level of criminality against journalists. "Crime continues to be one of the biggest scourges in SA, with journalists and their equipment not spared. We hope the latest unfortunate robbery will spur the police to act and seek to arrest these criminals," Ngalwa stated. The station was launched four months ago. Ngalwa said the broadcaster had assured Sanef it would tighten security to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.
