The South African National Editors’ Forum (Sanef) says former President Jacob Zuma’s private prosecution of News 24’s Karyn Maughan is an abuse of processes and blatant intimidation of a journalist.

File Image: Former President Jacob Zuma in courtZuma’s private prosecution of News 24’s Karyn Maughan is an abuse of processesThis was among the submissions made by Sanef in its application to the Pietermaritzburg High Court to have the forum admitted as amicus curiae or “friend of the court’ in the matter between former President Jacob Zuma and Advocate Billy Downer and Maughan.

Zuma earlier this year instituted a private prosecution against Downer and Maughan for allegedly making public his medical records. The Helen Suzman Foundation, the Campaign for Free Expression and Media Monitoring Africa, are also applying to be admitted as friends of the court.

SAEditorsForum didn't bother themselves to issue a statement when SakinaKamwendo was publicly abused by Paul O'Sullivan. The incoming government must take a tough stance against them for being an apartheid apologist organization

Who cares honestly…

Who takes that rubbish called sanef seriously, that kak is a group of evil politicians masquerading as journalists, utter rubbish, anyway Ramaphosa Matanyula Big Nose has a case to answer, asikakhohlwa zinja Tsek.

This is the correct picture wena private broadcaster.

We're not interested in any of that, did she or did she not, publish private medical condition...

It is a perversion of the law but it's allowed. Another example of how our best constitution in the world favours money and privilege

If it is so then , they must just trust the process , let the court decide, angithi no one is above the law, that includes journalists

He is trying to intimidate the poor journalist when he's supposed to clear his name as promised. He's not goin to win even against Karyn.

If it's really an abuse then file a suite against him

But she is not a Journalist but a politician
