JOBURG - Court orders #SABC to reinstate fired journalists immediately
The South African Broadcasting Commission (SABC) has been ordered to reinstate four of the journalists that they fired.
The ruling was announced by the Labour Court on the morning of 26 July.
According to a report from EWN, the court found that the SABC acted unlawfully when it dismissed the senior reporters for speaking out against the public broadcaster’s editorial changes.
