In something dear to our hearts as 2oceansvibers, word from Naspers that the ANC wants full control of independent press is rather shit.
The government and the ANC, through its national democratic revolution, wants total control.
Naspers chairperson, Ton Vosloo, said that “we will be facing huge challenges in the not-too-distant future in preserving the very freedom they enjoy to speak out against the erosion of this freedom, corruption and other ills”.
ANC critiqued the media, saying that they lack transformation – this was unfounded though, as most of the big newspaper houses are predominantly black-owned. Media24, for instance, has 45% black ownership.
Now, now guys – don’t go bullying all the elements that can exploit the dark side of the government like that – Freedom of speech is what?
