SABC to withdraw complaint against AZAPO

The SABC has announced that it will withdrawn its complaint to the police against the political party Azapo. The complaint was initially lodged following Azapo supporters' disruption of SABC News Sunday night's election debate, which was broadcast on SABC2. The corporation has decided instead to engage with Azapo's leadership to ensure that no similar incidents happen in the future. The SABC says it will continue to be what it feels is fair and balanced in its coverage of the election, guided by its internal election pledge and the rules laid down by ICASA and the IEC.
