SABC Criticised Over Anti-Malema Song

The Freedom of Expression Institute (FXI) has described the decision by the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) radio presenters for playing an anti-Malema song as disappointing.

FXI executive director, Elston Seppie, points out that, “The banning of the song by the SABC amounts to the worst form of self-censorship and is a direct infringement on the right to artistic freedom”

In a press statement, Seppie states that the FXI will call on the SABC to explain the basis upon which they decided not to play the song and also provide substantive reasons for suspending the two journalists.
