Court battle over analogue TV switch-off begins

Marus pointed out that Malatsi said in his responding affidavit that President Cyril Ramaphosa, also one of the respondents in the matter, opposed the relief sought by e.tv and others. The other respondents arguing alongside e.tv are industry groups Media Monitoring Africa and the SOS Support Broadcasting Coalition. Malatsi said the president would file papers with the court expressing government’s opposition, but those documents were never submitted.
