Sanef wants Mantashe to make a Media Ethics and Credibility submission, apologise
After the energy minister Gwede Mantashe retracted his claim that he paid two Sunday World journalists to quash a story about him, the South African National Editors' Forum (Sanef) followed up with members of the independent Media Ethics and Credibility Inquiry.
The panel has decided that it would be approaching Mantashe to make a submission to the inquiry.
Sanef also believes that an apology is required to the journalists at the Sunday World, the Sunday World itself, all journalists whose reputations have been tarnished as a result of his claims and the South African public as a whole.
In light of the entire story, Sanef has reiterated its stance against paid-for or so-called "brown envelope" journalism as it's a breach of the Press Council Code.
