Reportage on MK Party's threats of violence.

Outcome

Overview

Complainant has taken issue with an "SABC journalist's coverage of hate speech by MK Party Gauteng Youth Leader Bonginkosi Khanyile reiterating his stance that there will be violence if the MK Party is removed from the ballot".

Background & Outcome

Reportage on utterances made by MK Party representatives cannot constitute incitement. The journalist did not even proffer a view on the subject's utterances. The complaint is misdirected against the reporter reporting on the story.
