SANEF was reaction to news that two eNCA journalists were robbed at Khayelitsha in Cape Town.

The forum says journalists also face cyber-bullying and severe attacks on social media.

SANEF has marked Black Wednesday by appealing to community leaders and ordinary people to report the perpetrators to the police. The day is remembered on the Wednesday closest to October the 19th every year.

On that date in 1977 the apartheid regime banned World and Weekend World newspapers along with numerous black political organisations.
