The DA event in Gauteng is one of five similar, simultaneous events that will also be occurring on 1 August at other regional SABC offices in the Western Cape, Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and the Free State.
This follows on from the South African National Editors' Forum (SANEF), at its AGM on 10 July 2006, calling for its members to become involved in the independent commission of inquiry into allegations of editorial impropriety within the SABC news division.
The commission set aside three days - 21, 22 and 24 July 2006 - in which submissions from 19 people were heard and has since adjourned to August.
To assist with its work, commissioner Zwelakhe Sisulu and fellow commissioner Advocate Gilbert Marcus, have enlisted Rhodes Journalism Professor Guy Berger, who was recently awarded the 2006 Nat Nakasa Award, as an expert resource.
