Steve Hofmeyr supports media tribunal

Singer Steve Hofmeyr says he supports the ANC's proposal for a Media Appeals Tribunal.

"The fact that the media reports to no-one, is the epitome of fascism," Hofmeyr told Beeld newspaper in a report on Wednesday.

"The problem with the media is that it is its job to keep institutions on their toes, but the media itself has become the biggest institution."

The African National Congress, at its national general council in Durban last week, decided it would instruct Parliament to investigate self-regulation, transformation and ownership in the print media. - Sapa
