Media Watchdog, Media Monitoring Africa has called on the South African Human Rights Commission to investigate any instances of hate speech against veteran journalist,Whatsapp group directing colleagues to monitor the party’s event in Gauteng’s East Rand.Malema shared Brown’s cellphone number. She has since been the victim of social media attacks.
Director at MMA, William Bird says the intimidation of journalists in an election year should also be investigated by the Independent Electoral Commission. “Some of them clearly seem to be instances of hate speech. I think it would really be beneficial to South Africa for the South African Human Rights Commission to investigate. In addition to that, because we are in an election period, we’ve also called on the Independent Electoral Commission to investigate and take whatever action they deem necessary.”
Earlier Brown hit back at EFF leader Malema, saying his accusations of her being a State Security spy are unfounded. But Malema says Brown is out to destroy the EFF. And he believes she is sending a message to spies at the event.“The EFF is a threat to our democracy. I am not going to negotiate with the EFF if I can do my job as a journalist. I am not going to seek their position and I am not going to ask them for the right to do my work.
The South African National Editors’ Forum has also called on the Economic Freedom Fighters’ to apologise to journalist Karima Brown.
How did she end up in the EFF whatapp group causr for her to post in the group she had to be a member, so basically she has been spying on them
I didn't hear any word that amounts to hate speech from all what the CiC Julius_S_Malema said about Karima. Because it is being said by poor black leader who is just interested in the future of his own people, you always want to investigate. You are being mediocre
This woman thinks she is holy
