Gareth Cliff beats M-Net

Good for him!

A precedent has been set. We cannot have anyone willy nilly being "punished" without proper procedures being followed.

M-Net is getting exactly what it deserves.
 
They'll work him out ASAP because he is "poison", then he'll sue for money I bet.

Glad these M-Net racists got taught a lesson though.
 
The High Court in Johannesburg decided on 29 January that Cliff must be reinstated as a judge on Idols with immediate effect.

I might actually watch it now just to see the passive aggressiveness.
 
It is gonna get awkward. I suspect Gareth just wanted the court to rule. He will probably resign now.
 
By calling him poison (and the rest of their nonsense they spewed about him) they've broken down the trust between them, by their own doing, and they've opened themselves up to paying a rather large civil suit here.

They really did cock this one up big time. Their petty and knee-jerk reaction to a valid statement was poisonous to them more than anyone else, and they deserve the repercussions...
 
Very good ruling.

Hope this sends a message to the companies. Freedom of speech is a good thing.
 
Good for him. I would imagine that judging panel is going to be quite awkward!
