Court rules dismissal of SABC journalists unlawful
The labour court in Johannesburg has today ruled that their dismissals by the public broadcaster were unlawful.
This judgement is expected to be a precursor to what will unfold when three more journalists challenge their dismissals on Thursday.
The order states that the journalists must return to work with immediate effect while placing an interdict on all disciplinary processes.
Within the next five days, all people that were responsible for the dismissals must submit to the court why they shouldn't personally be held accountable for the legal fees.
Trade Union Solidarity's Chief executive Dirk Hermann says they knew all along that they would win.
"Our case was morally justified. Our members can now return to work to do what they are passionate about," he said.
