The SABC has issued a statement that they will no longer be broadcasting footage of protestors torching government buildings, committing acts of vandalism or protesting violently. The stated reason is that they are concerned that it will inspire protestors in other areas to take the same action.
I can follow the thread of their logic a little. It’s kind of like how the United States doesn’t negotiate with terrorists, or the Dutch rail service don’t announce the reason for train delays when the reason is a suicide. They don’t want to inspire further actions of that nature.
