The SA National Editors' Forum has called for an investigation into alleged threats against the editor of The Star newspaper, Sifiso Mahlangu, by ANC MP Boy Mamabolo.
"Such a statement is not only a chilling threat to Mahlangu's life, but also conduct that borders on criminal conduct. Sanef has reached out to Mahlangu and requested that he share the threatening messages from Mamabolo. He has yet to do so," it added. It said it stood for the right of media freedom for all journalists, including those employed by independent media houses not part of Sanef or the Press Council of SA.
