SANEF resolves to revive its discussions with the police leadership to ensure that the media is allowed the freedom to report on the fight against crime
The South African National Editors' Forum (SANEF) has resolved to revive its discussions with the police leadership to ensure that the media is allowed the freedom to report on the fight against crime.

In a press statement, SANEF points out that some police officers continue to treat journalists in a negative manner and enforcing unofficial restrictions in media reporting.

In the same vein, SANEF has also called on National Director of Public Prosecutions, Menzi Simelane, to respond to its letter asking him to revoke his decision to stop prosecutors from speaking to the media.
