Response from Tegeta Resources on Sunday Times story
13 SEPTEMBER 2015
There is an often used taunt in the media industry that one should not let the facts get in the way of publishing a good story.
It would seem that the Sunday Times has taken this to heart with its poorly researched, factually bankrupt story and editor’s comment in today’s edition (see here).
In addition to their coverage of ourselves, recent serious shortcomings in their approach can be confirmed by their recent apologies to Ronnie Kasrils and Graeme Smith where the Press Ombud found them wanting in their application of the Press Code.
For example, today’s editor’s comment makes very serious factual errors in its attempt to link the Gupta family to the Presidency.
