Anna Majava blacklisted

Good Evening members

A Sowetan journalist by the name Anna Majava was immediately blaclisted by D.A last week thursday with allegation of political agenda and critising Democratic Alliance government, when she is writing articles. Being a PR student and the journalist by profession,it was very disturbing. I mean D.A and other organisation were against the meida tribunal that was proposed by ANC government late last year. I was also personally against.

However i am shattered with D.A blacklist of journalist,if our government blacklist jounalist, writers and political commententors as former president Thabo Mbeki did business day politcal writer and John Perman of SAFM. It means that, we are being deprive the right to learn and empower ourself with what is happening around South Africa and the world. It for this reason, i voice my concern with blacklisted journalist in our counrty. As future public relations guru and writers of this counrty, i want to call up media industry not to allow the political parties to rule the South Africa media. The same government and political parties when they want to convey the message to the public, we are first being called.
