Hawks investigating SABC protest policy - Icasa
31 January 2017
Cape Town – The Hawks are investigating complaints that the SABC has not abided by its ruling to lift the ban on airing protest footage, the Independent Communications Authority of SA (Icasa) said on Tuesday.
A criminal charge it laid at Bramley police station on November 28 had been escalated to the Hawks, Icasa councillor Nomvuyiso Batyi told Parliament's portfolio committee on communications on Tuesday.
They had not yet received a case number from the Hawks.
Icasa had been battling since July last year to get the SABC to provide proof that it would abide by its ruling to withdraw the ban.
