South Africa: Controversial Suspensions of SABC's Top Men

Reporters sans Frontières (Paris)

PRESS RELEASE
7 May 2008
Posted to the web 7 May 2008

The board of the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) announced today that it has suspended the public broadcaster's CEO, Dali Mpofu, with immediate effect pending an investigation and possible disciplinary measures for "insubordination."

The announcement came just hours after Mpofu suspended SABC's head of news Snuki Zikalala for "divulging confidential information." Zikalala had often been accused of bias in favour of President Thabo Mbeki and an internal report last October accused him of preventing certain government critics from voicing their views as commentators.

Reporters Without Borders defends imprisoned journalists and press freedom throughout the world. It has nine national sections (Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland). It has representatives in Bangkok, London, New York, Tokyo and Washington. And it has more than 120 correspondents worldwide.

AllAfrica aggregates and indexes content from over 125 African news organizations, plus more than 200 other sources, who are responsible for their own reporting and views. Articles and commentaries that identify allAfrica.com as the publisher are produced or commissioned by AllAfrica.
