South Africa: Blacklisting Settlement - FXI Must Keep a Close Eye On SABC

press release

The DA welcomes the clarity from the FXI and the SABC on the details of the settlement agreement which led to the withdrawal of the enquiry by the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) into the blacklisting of commentators by the SABC.

The commitments that the SABC has made to adhere to its licensing conditions and policies must be monitored closely by the FXI and other civic bodies that champion freedom of the media from political interference in news and current affairs programmes.
