Sanef demands investigation after attacks on journalists in KZN

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.
