South Africa: Denialist Reporting in Relation to Apartheid Legacy Is of Concern

press release

The Presidency is concerned about the knee-jerk and ultra-sensitive reaction of some sections of the media to any reference to the impact of apartheid colonialism on South African society.

This has been the case with the reporting of the President's speech to the National House of Traditional Leaders in Cape Town yesterday, 6 March 2013. It has happened on other occasions as well. Such denialist reporting of what the President said infringes on the public's right to information.
