JOHANNESBURG - The South African National Editors Forum slammed the SABC’s decision to fire Phathiswa Magopeni as head of news.
The pair allegedly forced Magopeni to set up interviews with ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa during last year’s local government elections campaign, which mounted to editorial interference. It added an environment where people could be fired following political interference, led to self-censorship and restrains journalists from the freedom they need to do their jobs.
