Sanef vs EFF: Equality court rules in party's favour in intimidation case

[Jopie Fourie]

The Equality Court, sitting in the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria has ruled against the South African National Editors Forum (Sanef) and five journalists in an application to interdict the EFF from intimidating, harassing and assaulting journalists.

"The application is dismissed. There is no order as to costs," reads the order.

The five journalists are News24 editor Adriaan Basson, Daily Maverick journalist Pauli van Wyk, Tiso Blackstar associate editor Ranjeni Munusamy, Eyewitness News senior journalist Barry Bateman and Vrye Weekblad editor Max du Preez.

The court heard arguments from both parties over two days.

In its argument, the EFF submitted that the court should not "waste its time" and said the case should be dismissed with no costs order because there would be no winners.

Of course, courts are only captured when people lose.

This Stratcom narrative is becoming tiresome though. I see SANEF is respecting the court’s ruling, or so they publicly stated.

I see Munusamy’s and Basson’s Twitter Tweets are protected. I guess someone is going to call Basson the p-word sooner or later to rub it in.
