Media Practitioner’s Act repeal soon

The Assistant Minister for State President, Dumezweni Mthimkhulu said this at the Advancing Rights in Southern Africa (ARISA/Internews) reporting on digital security, safety and surveillance training for journalists on Tuesday.

Mthimkhulu also assured journalists of government’s commitment to promoting media freedom. It was against that background that the assistant minister told journalists that a Bill seeking to repeal the Media Practitioner’s Act of 2008 will be tabled during Parliament’s sitting next month.
