‘Ranjeni has always been a partisan, factional journalist’ – Prof Anton Harber

, University of the Witwatersrand journalism professor Anton Harber said recent allegations about Tiso Blackstar journalist Ranjeni Munusamy at the commission of inquiry into state capture raise concerns about “brown envelope journalism”.

Hawks officer Colonel Kobus Roelofse alleged on Wednesday at the commission that Munusamy received R143,621.70 from a secret slush fund allegedly used by state security crime intelligence officers, adding that the alleged payments to Munusamy were discovered while investigating corruption claims relating to crime intelligence and Atlantis Motors, a company based in Centurion. She is alleged to have used the money to pay off her car.

Harber said the allegation “has serious implications for [Munusamy’s] position as a journalist”, also expressing the view that she “has always been a partisan, factional journalist”.

She’s a political activist.

She was ur agent for years today she is bad

The world has no truth....journalism has been taught as a neutral and fair practice....while some were made indirect politicians through factional and totally partisan reporting.

I've a question for all investigative journalists of this country: Were you all aware that Ranjeni was benefiting from state security and why didn't you report about it until yesterday?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

She is not the only one
