Pretoria – Cabinet says it remains confident the SABC will continue to serve the interests of all the people of South Africa.
“The role of the SABC as the public broadcaster remains vital for the development of our young democracy.
“The current discussion over the SABC’s editorial decisions regarding the broadcasting of images of violence and destruction of property should be held in a constructive manner that would serve to strengthen our democracy,” said a statement issued following Cabinet’s ordinary meeting this week.
Cabinet reaffirmed its support for media freedom, freedom of expression and the right of any person to access information in South Africa.
It said these rights, well enshrined in the Constitution, will always be upheld and protected by all. – SAnews.gov.za
