27 June 2016
Johannesburg – Three SABC employees who were served with suspension letters for allegedly contravening an order by the public broadcaster not to cover protest actions are taking the broadcaster and its COO, Hlaudi Motsoeneng, to court.
Economics editor Thandeka Gqubule, RSG executive producer Foeta Krige and Afrikaans news producer Suna Venter were served with the papers stating that they were suspended indefinitely on Thursday.
News24 understands that trio has considered taking their fight to the Constitutional Court, which is the highest court in the land.
No reason was stated for their suspension. However, it was understood that all three had voiced their concern and disagreement over not covering a Right2Know (R2K) protest which took place outside the SABC building last week.
