EFF Supporters Intimidate eNCA Journalists

, ,

The South African National Editors’ Forum (SANEF) strongly condemns the unlawful and intimidatory actions by supporters of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) on eNCA Journalists. The supporters harassed and prevented eNCA journalists from covering a protest in Tokai, Cape Town earlier today (10 June 2021).

We believe that the deplorable actions of intimidation against eNCA anchor Ayesha Ismail and cameraman Mario Pedro have severe implications for journalism. A video circulating on social media shows the threats being made to the eNCA team. They were told to leave, and one supporter even threatened them with a sjambok while another is heard saying “we gonna teach you all a good lesson”.

The EFF’s hostility towards eNCA dates back to December 2019 when the EFF declared that Daily Maverick, their investigative unit Scorpio, and independent investigative journalism unit amaBhungane would no longer be ‘allowed’ to cover EFF events or briefings.

SANEF had warned that the ban imposed on various media entities infringed on the right to freedom of expression guaranteed in section 16 of the Bill of Rights. At the time eNCA took a conscious decision to stand in solidarity with their colleagues, as a result, the EFF banned eNCA from its events for their investigative work.

This is not the first time that EFF supporters have prevented eNCA journalists from doing their work. On a previous occasion, students aligned with the EFF prevented eNCA from covering University protests.

Given the actions recorded today, SANEF calls on the leadership of the EFF, as a political party in a parliamentary democracy, to condemn such behaviour. The media is an essential cog in the promotion of democracy. It acts as a mirror to society and, as such, is opened to listening to — and publicising — all points of view. Political formations that are, in any sense, democratic, should engage with — and not abuse and shun — the media.

SANEF believes that the curtailment of the rights of journalists to do their job deprives society of the truth. Any harassment and attacks on journalists eventually lead to self-censorship. In the run-up to the local government elections, it is important for political parties to support all journalists and foster an enabling and conducive environment for journalists to do their work.

SANEF Meeting With eNCA Management

, ,

The South African National Editors’ Forum (SANEF) delegation led by the chairman Sibusiso Ngalwa met with the eNCA including managing editor John Bailey and managing director Norman Munzhelele, on Thursday, 4 March 2021 following the allegations of racism at the broadcaster.

The meeting was cordial but frank, reflecting on the events of the past week and it also provided a moment of reflection for both parties.

ENCA management informed SANEF that they are holding a series of meetings with various organisations, including the South African Council of Churches, #NOTINMYNAME and political parties, as a way of meaningfully engaging society on the recent events.

As ENCA is going through this process, they should be given the space to do so.

The broadcaster has also committed to making an announcement following the consultation process. During the meeting, SANEF committed to be more responsive and to reach out to ENCA in future when challenges arise. They also committed to work much closer with SANEF and become involved in its activities.

THREATS

SANEF condemns the threats to the life of reporter Lindsay Dentlinger following the publication of the video montage, selected from some of her work in parliament.

The abuse, which includes rape threats, have mostly been on online platforms and we believe that the targeted abuse is uncalled for.

The abuse of journalists, particularly women journalists, is rife on social media platforms. But we have seen the same kind of abuse at political events, rallies and protests marches where women journalists have been pushed, sexually harassed and subjected to verbal abuse.

South Africans have a right to call out journalists when they err. But this should not degenerate into cyberbullying and misogyny as currently faced by Dentlinger. For media freedom to be upheld and protected, journalists cannot be attacked without facts or the full story by members of the public.

RESPONSIBILITY

SANEF reiterates the responsibility of all media houses to be perceptive of public criticism and perceptions as part of rebuilding public trust in the profession.

We believe the media has a duty to contribute to healing the nation from our violent past that legislated racism. Equally, we all have a responsibility to fight against abuse and deliberate disinformation targeted at the media industry, to tarnish its image.

We have also seen genuine concern from stakeholders, but also opportunistic formations have jumped onto the bandwagon – seeking to capitalise on the ENCA incident to further malign the image of the media in South Africa.

It also brought to the surface, existing tensions within the media industry. That is why, as the media, we have to use this period as an opportunity to pause and rethink our approach to diversity and transformation. It is an issue that we have not dealt with sufficiently and it has come up consistently in the State of the Newsroom research into South African newsrooms and was also reflected during our independent Ethics and Credibility report.

We also encourage all media houses to ensure that their newsrooms undergo diversity training and racial literacy training as our history makes it necessary.

We are currently organising a Media Ethics and Credibility conference which will include panel discussions on race and racism in the media as well as diversity in the newsrooms.

SANEF Welcomes the Arrest of Suspects Following an Attack on Journalists at Fish Hoek Beach

, , ,

eNCA’s Monique Mortlock
Newzroom Afrika’s Athi Mthongana

The South African National Editors’ Forum (SANEF) welcomes the arrest of suspects following the attack on two journalists at Fish Hoek Beach over the weekend.

On Saturday, eNCA journalist Monique Mortlock was assaulted while attempting to interview an anti-mask protest organiser at Fish Hoek Beach. The man refused to speak to her and ripped her mask off, while another journalist, Athi Mtongana from Newzroom Afrika, was also attacked.

Monique Mortlock tweeted, “We are on Fish Hoek beach to cover the #WeAreMore protest against lockdown. But one of the organisers just assaulted me, even with officers around us. He refused to speak to me because I’m wearing a mask”. A demonstrator then threw her phone onto the ground when she attempted to conduct an interview.

Mtongana tweeted, “Protesters at Fish Hoek beach approached us and asked if we’re media. Told us that anyone wearing a mask supports paedophiles.” An old lady then proceeded to slap the phone out of her hand.

SANEF is encouraged to hear that about the swift interventions of law enforcement agencies who reacted to the shocking attack on the two women journalists at the weekend and arrested some of the demonstrators concerned. They will face charges relating to assault and crimen injuria. SANEF wishes to thank the SAPS for its prompt response.

SANEF notes that protesters took to the beach to call for an end to lockdown restrictions when the assault happened. However, some broke the law and endangered the lives of the journalists on the scene by forcing them to take off their masks. SANEF wishes to remind communities that forcefully removing someone’s mask is an infringement to their rights to safety by the same people who want their stories told.

SANEF is concerned that news reporters are being attacked by the same individuals who want their stories told and yet have no respect for media freedom and the rights of journalists to work without fear of intimidation and harassment.

The attacks on journalists by members of the public which is becoming a worrying trend.

SANEF calls on media houses to provide counselling and mental health care support to all journalists – particularly during the COVID Crisis. We once again thank the SAPS for stepping in and arresting those that broke the law and intimidated journalists.

SANEF Condemns The Harassment Of eNCA Journalists By EFF Supporters

,

7 September 2020

The South African National Editors’ Forum (SANEF) condemns the abusive and intimidatory behaviour towards an eNCA news team covering the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) protest action at the Clicks store in Goodwood mall on Monday morning. The protesters chased away the team from the protest.

The EFF protest in Goodwood was among a number held at various Clicks stores around the country following an offensive hair advert that portrayed black hair as “dry and damaged” with the EFF demanding that the stores be shut down for at least a week.

eNCA reporter, Nobesuthu Hejana said that she and cameraman, Crescendo Louw had been reporting unhindered at the protest. They did a live crossing at 9am. Then when EFF chair Veronica Mente arrived to brief the media, one of the supporters in the crowd shouted that they, “would not speak to Rupert agents”. Things then deteriorated from there with Mente confirming that the EFF would not address the media until eNCA had left.

“Supporters became aggressive, forcing our cameraman to hurry up and leave,” said Hejana.

Mente said that they were blocking the eNCA crew in retaliation for the broadcaster withdrawing coverage of the party’s second elective conference in December last year.  The eNCA had withdrawn in solidarity after the EFF banned various media outlets from covering the EFF conference.

Video footage indicates that the eNCA’s cameraman was insulted, sworn at and abused verbally by EFF supporters.

SANEF takes serious exception to this kind of intimidation and treatment of journalists by supporters of any political organisation. It is particularly worrying because the EFF is represented in the South African National Assembly and various provincial and local government legislature structures. The EFF is obliged by the South African Constitution to protect the freedom of the media, among other democratic fundamentals.

SANEF appeals to the EFF and its leadership to uphold the country’s Constitution, which guarantees the existence of the fourth estate as a key pillar of democracy.

We wish to remind the EFF leadership of the words of the founding father of South Africa’s democracy, Nelson Mandela who addressed the International Press Institute Congress on 14 February 1994 saying, “No single person, nobody of opinion, no political or religious doctrine, no political party or government can claim to have a monopoly on truth. For that reason, truth can be arrived at only through the untrammelled contest between and among competing opinions, in which as many viewpoints as possible are given a fair and equal hearing. It has therefore always been our contention that laws, mores, practices and prejudices that place constraints on freedom of expression are a disservice to society.”

We, therefore, call on all media freedom-loving South Africans to protect media rights against any individuals seeking to denigrate the country’s hard-won democratic principles of media freedom.

SANEF Deeply Saddened by Death of eNCA Cameraman

                                                                                              Lungile Tom, the late eNCA cameraman

The South African National Editors’ Forum (SANEF) is deeply saddened to hear of the death of Lungile Tom, a cameraman, who worked at eNCA at the company’s Cape Town office. Lungile was turning 46 this year.

Lungile Tom was admitted to hospital on Sunday night, May 10, with COVID-19 related symptoms.

He was tested and admitted to intensive care. Lungile’s test results confirmed that he had COVID-19 and he passed away in hospital this morning, Wednesday May 13.

eMedia Chief Operating Officer Antonio Lee said, “Lungile joined eNCA in December 2013 as an ENG Camera Operator. Prior to this, he worked at CNBC Africa. He stated, “Lungile was known for his larger than life personality and his dedication to his craft. His buoyant laughter will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with his wife, Nandipha and his children.”

We have been informed that eNCA in adherence to government regulations have disinfected and closed the affected floor and that the company has instituted a tracing and tracking process. Employees who have had contact with Lungile have been advised to stay at home. They will be tested and will go into self-isolation if needed.

SANEF believes that this tragic death points to the very dangerous work that journalists do, working on the frontline. We call on all media companies to assist journalists with protective gear and for journalists to be extra careful and follow all safety precautions. We also call on media companies, where possible, to assist journalists with trauma counselling. SANEF has included a number of resources on its website to assist media companies and journalists in this very difficult time. Please see a link to them here and here.

SANEF sends its heartfelt condolences to Lungile’s family, friends and colleagues.

SANEF CONCERNED BY EDITORIAL DEVELOPMENTS AT ENCA

The South African National Editors’ Forum (SANEF) is perturbed about developments at eNCA where news anchors Xoli Mngambi and Jane Dutton were taken off air after apologising for raising their views about the government’s cigarette ban.

On Monday, Mngambi and Dutton criticised the government’s handling of the ban. After receiving critical feedback from viewers and the public, they went on air to apologise for their comments on Tuesday morning. From Wednesday, they were no longer hosting the morning show on eNCA.

There has been no public explanation for their absence.

SANEF understands that a few months ago the eNCA management introduced a requirement for its anchors to be more opinionated and to open their shows on social and political issues. So it seems that when Mngambi and Dutton aired their comments they were not violating any internal policy.

SANEF is deeply concerned about the potential undermining of freedom of expression at eNCA. Freedom of expression is a cornerstone of the South African Constitution and enshrined in Section 16. We remind the channel’s management of former president Nelson Mandela’s statement that a “critical, independent and investigative press is the lifeblood of any democracy”, a view with which we fully agree.

Issues regarding news versus comment often given rise to a great deal of unhappiness with the media. We think it important to reiterate key provisions of the BCCSA Code of Conduct applicable to eNCA. Section 28.1.3 of the Subscription Code clearly requires that “only that which may reasonably be true… may be presented as fact…If a report is…founded on opinion…it must be presented in such manner as to indicate clearly that such is the case.”

Management’s strategy to include more personalised commentary in the news broadcasts has paved the way for an unfortunate mixing of news and comment in such a way that the reasonable viewer might have been left in doubt as to what was fact and what was the newsreaders’ opinion.

SANEF respects the right of media companies to apply their own editorial guidelines, quality control measures, internal policies and directives, but this should never be at odds with the Constitution and industry codes.

SANEF will write to eNCA acting MD Norman Munzhelele asking for an explanation of why Mngambi and Dutton’s have been taken off the air. We believe that news management should defend journalists and their freedom of expression.

The incident follows incidents of political interference in the newsroom in December that led to the exit of the previous head of news. We will also be raising these issues in our meeting.

SANEF Condemns The Attack On Journalists

, ,

The South African National Editors’ Forum (SANEF) is deeply concerned by the increasing number of criminal attacks targeting journalists covering stories in the field. SANEF believes that every citizen should be seriously troubled by reports, including the most recent one when eNCA reporter Xoli Mngambi and a crew on assignment in Mamelodi East were robbed of their equipment on Wednesday afternoon.

This incident happened barely a week after KayaFM journalist Gavin Emmanuel was assaulted and injured while covering a service delivery protest in Ga-Rankuwa, north of Pretoria. The township had come to a standstill after main roads were blockaded with rubble and burning tyres.

In Wednesday’s incident, Mngambi and his team were robbed at gunpoint by criminals who fled with two news cameras and a tripod while they were filming a feature.

“The three assailants, with one wielding a gun in our faces, accosted and shoved us inside one of the rooms of the private clinic which was being filmed, while two other robbers took the crew’s equipment, loading it into their grey VW Polo getaway vehicle. They sped off into the township afterwards, taking with them the beautiful and heart-warming story of the nurses, that had just been filmed,” he said.

Mngambi posted on social media a picture of one of the tripods the robbers did not take as well as a short and hurried video clip, filmed from a distance. A grey VW Polo without licence plates, belonging to the three gun-wielding robbers, can be seen driving off.

They have opened a case of robbery at the Mamelodi East Police Station. eNCA said that “First Take” anchor Mngambi, producer Koketso Dlongolo, and camera operators Mbudzeni Bulasigobo and Gift Shabalala were at the Wellness Today Clinic when they were robbed.

These incidents are the latest in a string of attacks on journalists. These include:

  • In Embalenhle, Secunda, on February 6, freelance journalist Desmond Latham, as well as a female staff member from Frayintermedia and female Unicef employee were assaulted allegedly by members of a local taxi association.
  • Three journalists were held up at gunpoint and robbed of their belongings while covering a World Aids Day event in Khayelitsha last December.
  • A reporter was robbed of a cellphone after being surrounded by a group of men near a protest in Parkwood, Cape Town, in 2018.

SANEF is aware that there are other incidents, but not all are brought to the attention of the forum. SANEF believes that every citizen has to ensure that the right to freedom of opinion and expression for all is protected. Promoting the safety of journalists and combatting impunity for those who attack them are central elements as regards SANEF’s support for press freedom on all media platforms.

Attacks on media professionals are often perpetrated in non-conflict situations by organised opportunistic criminals, crime groups, militia and security personnel, making local journalists among the most vulnerable.

As Judge Daisy Molefe of the Equality Court stated in October last year: “It is incumbent on all organs of state, including the judiciary, to not only have regard to but to take positive steps to protect the safety and independence of journalists.”

We call on law-enforcement agencies not to ignore these incidents and to thoroughly investigate them and to bring perpetrators to book. It is only through the decisive and firm actions of state organs that criminals and members of society will stop attacking journalists.

Finally, we want to note that while these “real life” attacks are deeply worrying, the online attacks against journalists are also deeply concerning. We also call on journalists to follow the relevant codes within their news environments when communicating on social media. We call on all leaders of society including government, political parties and the platform operators to fight against all attacks on journalists.

SANEF Mourns The Death Of Journalist, Ben Said

,

Journalist Ben Said has died

The South African National Editors’ Forum (SANEF) mourns on 27 August 2019 the passing of veteran journalist, Ben Said who drowned on Monday at a beach in Mozambique, where he was holidaying with his wife and two daughters. According to eNCA, he drowned in a tragic diving accident on Monday afternoon.

Said was eNCA’s director of news and had just recently returned to South Africa after working at television channel – TRT World in Turkey. He joined eNCA as a producer in 2000 before rising through the ranks to become senior reporter and eventually Group News Editor.  He left the news station in 2015 to take up a senior management position at TRT in Turkey. He had just re-joined the senior management team at eNCA.

eNCA’s Editor-at-Large, Jeremy Maggs has described Said as “one of the country’s best television journalists” saying his loss to the station was immense.

“Having just re-joined the station, he was already making his presence felt across all aspects of the business. We are all in deep shock,” said Maggs.

SANEF is deeply saddened by this loss to the media industry and we send our deepest condolences to his wife Nicky and his daughters Lily and Bella as well as his family, friends and colleagues across the media industry.

May his soul rest in peace.

Ben Said working at the Union Buildings in Pretoria
