Sanef slams Mashatile allies' attempt to use Gauteng High Court to 'gag a media house' | News24

Businessman Bridgman Sithole is seeking an urgent interdict against Media24 publications to prevent any publication linking him to the term 'Alex Mafia'.He added that the court application was"an abusive effort at prior restraint against Media24, at the very time that Mashatile's ambitions for president of the country and the ANC move to centre stage in South African politics”.

“Sanef had learned that when Daily Maverick requested the organising committee to reconsider the decision to revoke his accreditation, it was told that ‘revision is not possible’. What Sanef finds ridiculous is that Fabricius received his accreditation on 18 July to cover the summit over 27 and 28 July.“Fabricius is a respected veteran journalist and foreign affairs expert who covered the inaugural summit in 2019 in Sochi.

It said the summit was of immense international public interest, particularly given its impact on Africa. “The revocation of Fabricius' accreditation follows the recent unfortunate event where South African journalists were ill-treated and stuck on a plane in Poland and could not report on the African Peace Mission to Russia and Ukraine. Sanef will soon be meeting the Minister in the Presidency, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, to discuss this issue, among others," the organisation added.In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
