This war is potentially existential for amaBhungane.
We return to court tomorrow, 27 June 2023, to set aside the Moti Group’s unprecedented gag order against the #MotiFiles – but also to vindicate the rights of all journalists to receive leaks, and to manage and publish information from them professionally in the public interest without jeopardising sources.
The latest tack is to get these entities and other sympathetic commentators to condemn amaBhungane and our reporting on the Moti Group as having an anti-Black agenda, driven by nefarious local and foreign sponsors. Second, he wanted us to “return” everything – effectively depriving us of further access and allowing him to take an inventory, analyse the files and figure out how we got access to the documents and from whom.
This would mean checking every single document to decide – in isolation – whether it is confidential or meets the test of public interest disclosure.
