EFF Is Not Moved By SANEF And Its Double Standard On So-called Investigative Journalists. pic.twitter.com/oN5ASmM9nD “Sanef believes these actions mimic the apartheid state’s censorious responses to investigative reports that exposed its brutal and corrupt activities.” “Mr Malema called for this banning on Thursday during the EFF’s memorial service for former Zimbabwean president, Robert Mugabe. Speaking to party supporters, Mr Malema said the publications, should be treated as the enemy, much like the EFF did when it banned Gupta-owned, The New Age newspaper and broadcaster, ANN7,’” Sanef said in a statement.
