South Africa: Zuma to sue press
Written byLuisetta Mudie
Yebo Gogo disapproves of the move on the part of former South African deputy president Jacob Zuma to sue media outlets over coverage of a rape trial at which he was acquitted. This, the post says, could produce a “dangerous chilling effect that could scare some outlets — namely those without hefty budgets — to not pursue the wrongdoings (or alleged wrongdoings) of powerful public officials.”
