Mmegi is non-partisan

The Editor in the eye of this storm, Mr Monkagedi Gaotlhobogwe, is alleged to have, not only maligned certain political and civil society formations as well as individuals, but also threatened to attack them, while expressing his loyalty to others. He reportedly made the unfortunate assertions in a private conversation, which he had with an anonymous correspondent on a social media platform.

The editorial policy of Dikgang Publishing Company is unequivocal regarding impartiality in reportage of news. It states, in part, “The Company recognises and guarantees the editorial independence of its editors, in particular in the selection and rejection of editorial content. Such independence, however, carries with it the responsibility and the duty to publish accurate, unbiased and well researched stories and articles”.
