SABC's problems go way beyond its policy on protests - axed journalist
21 July 2016
Johannesburg - Problems at the SABC extend beyond the policy not to broadcast footage of violent protests, one of the broadcaster’s axed journalists said on Thursday.
"The protest policy is only a sliver of the slew of policies and draconian anti-journalistic practices," Thandeka Gqubule told reporters after the Labour Court postponed the case of her four dismissed colleagues.
"You can withdraw the protest policy, but still have an environment that is not conducive to the practice of ethical journalism in the SABC.
"We don't see how this striking down of the policy alone can solve the problems of the corrosive environment and the other forms of censorship that continue to prevail."
