SA National Editor's Forum faces backlash over ‘selective silence‘ following Mkhwanazi allegations

“Sanef, Media Monitoring Africa, and others have not commented on those incidents. They have been selective, which undermines credibility,” he said. He added that SANEF should avoid defensiveness and instead lead a process of reflection and reform. “Mkhwanazi may be wrong or right, but he raised serious questions. He named journalists, MPs, even judges. That shows a broader crisis - and SANEF can’t just say, ‘We are clean,’ without investigating.”
