Cape Town – The SABC has reinstated seven dismissed journalists, the public broadcaster announced on Wednesday.
“The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) management has instructed its legal team not to proceed with further legal action and the SABC will reinstate the seven dismissed news employees,” the SABC said in a brief statement.
The decision comes despite the broadcaster locking Foeta Krige, Suna Venter, Krivani Pillay and Jacques Steenkamp out of its Johannesburg offices earlier on Wednesday.
