The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has reaffirmed its commitment to fair and balanced journalism following social media comments by Nigeria’s High Commissioner, Femi Fani-Kayode, over coverage of Friday’s Letters of Credence ceremony in Pretoria.
The public broadcaster says it covered the event on SABC+, showed the High Commissioner’s arrival on Channel 404, and posted footage of him speaking to President Cyril Ramaphosa on X.
It says its editorial coverage is independent of the Presidency’s livestream arrangements and remains open to engaging with the Nigerian High Commission.
