Communications Minister Ayanda Dlodlo has expressed her deepest condolences to the family and friends of the late SABC veteran journalist, radio assignment editor and photographer, Zola Ntutu.
“Ntutu was one of the pre-eminent members of the country’s media fraternity. He upheld the principles and ethics of the media profession and has left behind a legacy for younger media professionals to follow,” said Minister Dlodlo.
Ntutu played an instrumental role in his profession when he covered the Truth and Reconciliation process.
Following South Africa’s democratic attainment, the media played a critical role in serving the public interest by reporting in a transparent, objective and helpful manner that significantly contributed towards creating a tenet for the basic freedoms of every citizen.
It is during this process, as well as his coverage on other issues that Ntutu told the South African story. – SAnews.gov.za
