In a statement, the SABC has condemned the acts of public and private property vandalism and has made a decision that it will not show footage of people burning public institutions, like schools, in any of its news bulletins, with immediate effect.
“We are not going to provide publicity to such actions that are destructive and regressive,” the statement said.
The statement said the recent violent protests and vandalism are regrettable and viewed as regressive on the developments made after 22 years of South Africa’s democracy.
