Sanef condemns attempts to silence editor Peter Bruce
Johannesburg - The South African National Editors Forum (Sanef) on Thursday condemned the intimidation and threats directed at Tiso Blackstar editor at large Peter Bruce outside his Johannesburg home.
"Media freedom is protected by the Constitution and Mr Bruce has exercised his right to express himself," Sanef executive director Chris Kabwato said.
"We also condemn the invasion of Mr Bruce's personal life as part of a cowardly act to silence him."
Kabwato said journalism was not a crime, but state capture was.
A group of protesters gathered outside Bruce's home on Thursday morning, holding their placards and singing in a circle. Police officers were seen standing on the side, watching the protest.
