SANEF has noted with concern the suspension of Steven Motale

The South African National Editor’s Forum (SANEF) has noted with concern the suspension of Steven Motale, the editor of The Citizen.
SANEF hopes that the suspension will be dealt with in a speedy and most transparent of manners. We do, as an organisation, respect that the matter is currently between the employer and employee. In this regard Sanef has consulted with both Motale and the Caxton management and wish to reiterate that it is important for the employer to recognise that editors must be afforded the independence to do their work without any interference or unnecessary, or undue pressure.
SANEF will follow the developments of this suspension.
