Rajesh Sundaram alleges that Atul Gupta had access to intelligence relating to the movements of journalists working for the Gupta media empire
The new channel, founded by Thabile Ngwato and Thokozani Nkosi, is a 24-hours channel that will be launched by the MultiChoice Group on Thursday
Many of the journalists on Malema’s list have already been subjected to a torrent of abuse on social media platforms
Former GCIS CEO Mzwanele Manyi testified before the state capture commission on Wednesday in an unexpected turn of events
In late January MultiChoice announced the news channel’s contract will not be renewed when it lapses in August 2018
Earlier this year MultiChoice had a briefing following the probe, indicating that no irregular payments were made to ANN7
Employees at the channel have been left stranded after it was removed from the DStv bouquet but the Communication Workers Union says it is not the end
The negative perception of its previous owners, the Guptas, persisted which also negatively impacted the company’s financials, Manyi explained
Mzwanele Manyi claims he has paid the Gupta family in full for ANN7 and The New Age newspaper, the Sunday Times reported on Sunday
Dlamini-Zuma later issued an apology, saying the tweet did not represent her views, claiming her account had been hacked.
A former editor at ANN7 has lifted the lid on how Gupta employees deceived MultiChoice into believing it was ready to launch on its DStv platform
Rajesh Sundaram claims that Zuma shaped the policies at ANN7, suggested its name and even went so far as to play a role in appointing presenters.
Naspers-owned MultiChoice announced on January 31 that it was looking for a black-owned media company to replace ANN7’s slot.
‘When MultiChoice chief executive Calvo Mawela addressed the media this week, he was contrite. There had been “mistakes”, he said’
MultiChoice was equally clear about the consequences of its ‘mistake’ — when ANN7’s contract ends in August, it will be dropped from DStv
The EFF on Wednesday welcomed Naspers’ MultiChoice’s decision to rid itself of Gupta-linked ANN7
Last year MultiChoice launched an investigation into payments made to ANN7 that it paid the controversial channel R25-million upfront.
Tough as nails, the ANC top-sixer is labelled a party unifier by some and clearly biased by others
MultiChoice denies claims of a corrupt relationship between itself and former minister of communications Faith Muthambi.
Transformation is not a magical wand that excludes black owners from playing by the same rules as everybody else.
