The South African National Editors’ Forum (Sanef) has condemned the attack on Zululand Observer (ZO) reporter Gaddafi Zulu, and demands an immediate investigation from the authorities in KwaZulu-Natal for the gross violations of his rights.
Sanef also noted the attack on eNCA reporter Silindelo Masikane in a media statement on Thursday.
The ZO journalist was allegedly assaulted by the former Mtubatuba mayor, Mandla Zungu, and a group of bodyguards while on a story to investigate reports that the newly-appointed administrator, Dr Siya Ntuli, had been prevented from entering the municipal premises at Mtubatuba Municipality on Tuesday, February 28.
