Judge Overturns 'Gagging Order' on amaBhungane Investigative Journalism Unit GroundUp_News: SouthAfrica
The Gauteng High Court has set aside the"gagging order" brought against amaBhungane by the Moti Group.
The original order also directed the journalists to return all the documents within 48 hours. This was revised following an urgent high court application launched by amaBhungane two days later, at which the parties agreed to an order that amaBhungane would not destroy or alter the documents. He said much of what was argued in the application before him involved the"age-old debate" about the scope which ought to be allowed to the media to snoop uninhibited into the affairs of people and entities, and publish information about them that reveals to the world what those being reported on would prefer to remain unknown.
"Throughout a period of three months of verbal jousting, the points of contestation between the parties were articulated repeatedly.
