Sanef

Wrottesley, according to SANEF's website, was the chief of staff for Independent Newspapers, a respected journalist and one of SANEF's founding members.

The South African National Editors’ Forum (SANEF) congratulated TAEF on holding a successful AGM, on the sidelines of the Africa Media Festival, in Nairobi, Kenya.

Mahlatse Mahlase, the chairperson of Sanef, said that this period has been a challenging time for media, with many local newspapers having to shut down due to the loss of revenue.

Sanef says it is saddened by the death of community media activist and editor, Masindi Octavia Mkhize, 43, who died of a stroke on Friday.

Speaking to members of the South African National Editors’ Forum (SANEF) on Friday, Zikalala said that the number of new infections in the province per day has decreased.

The South African National Editors Forum (SANEF) has awarded its coveted Nat Nakasa Award to all journalists who have been covering the Covid-19 pandemic.

Sanef confirmed that they would be approaching Mantashe to make a submission at the inquiry.

SANEF, however, contends that the Act does indeed make space for journalists to be protected by virtue of their occupation.

SANEF said while it did not condone "unprofessional" behavior from journalists, it believed that the incident should not be used as an excuse to trigger an "all-out attack on media and journalists as a collective".

The party commended Mantashe for meeting with Sanef and coming clean on the matter.
