A civil society meeting to coordinate further protests against the SABC is scheduled to take place on Monday.<\/p>\n
The campaign is being organised by the Right2Know (R2K) campaign and the Save our SABC Coalition.<\/p>\n
Last week, R2K Durban spokesperson, Thabane Miya, said protests would continue until SABC chief operating officer, Hlaudi Motsoeneng, resigned.<\/p>\n
Journalists from several media outlets protested against censorship outside the SABC\u2019s offices in Johannesburg, Durban, and Cape Town on Friday.<\/p>\n
The picket was also held in support of three journalists who were served with suspension letters in June. They disagreed with an instruction during a diary conference not to cover another R2K protest against censorship outside the public broadcaster\u2019s offices.<\/p>\n
Last Monday, acting group CEO Jimi Matthews announced his resignation. He said the environment at the public broadcaster was “corrosive” and that recent changes were wrong.<\/p>\n
Motsoeneng has been criticised for his decision that the SABC would no longer air footage of the destruction of property during protests.<\/p>\n
The R2K, however, previously said it did not believe the broadcaster\u2019s problems started, nor would they end, with his departure.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe SABC crisis is rooted in systematic attempts by the political elite to undermine and control key public institutions,\u201d the organisation said.<\/p>\n
