report that was aired in spite of the SABC being interdicted must be understood within this context. Magopeni informed all the people who needed to be informed that the report should not be broadcast, so on what basis is she made to take accountability when it is people responsible for the show and the channel who ought to be taken to task?” the insider said.
Journalists who spoke to TimesLIVE on condition of anonymity said the charging of Magopeni was a strange turn of events. They accused the SABC of taking a hostile method to pursue the matter since there were written commitments from editorial executives that the episode would not be aired.Special Assignment
They said Magopeni had specifically been warned by SABC head of legal Mthuthuzeli Vanara not to allow the investigative programme to continue with the broadcast of the episode in question due to the court interdict, but his cautions fell on deaf ears. A board insider said it was not true Magopeni was being targeted because the ANC had complained about her. He said it was reckless of the news division to have gone ahead with the broadcast given the threat of being in contempt of court.
