A rare moment of unity

The perceived favour and inclination that is often conferred upon government media by government officials ahead of other media practitioners had vanished. Right or wrong, the private media is often accused of taking a hard stance against the government.

We were able to exchange notes, videos, audios and other necessities that simplified our task at hand. It was very rare as it is always man or woman for himself or herself, which in street language is called ‘indoda ye sibonela’.
