ANN7 fires 5 more journalists
4 August 2016
Johannesburg - Gupta-owned television news station ANN7 fired five more journalists on Tuesday.
They had taken part in protests and other demonstrations in solidarity with eight colleagues who were dismissed in June.
The South African National Editors’ Forum on Wednesday expressed its concern over the latest round of firings.
"We are concerned with what appears to be a continued trend by some media houses to violate media freedoms and contravene labour laws," it said in a statement.
