The South African National Editors’ Forum (SANEF) says that murdered journalist and former South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) board member, Hope Zinde fought for media freedom at the national broadcaster.

In a press statement, SANEF points out that, “As a board member [she was]… determined to ensure the corporation fulfilled its mission to the public.”

The organisation states that, “It was this commitment that saw her clash with the reigning leadership of the SABC, who are steadily turning it into a centre of sunshine journalism, where uncomfortable incidents of national importance are being steadily censored out of the news.”
