BLF abides by court interdict
The South African National Editors Forum (Sanef) has called on police to enforce the court interdict against Black First Land First (BLF).
The High Court in Johannesburg has ordered the Gupta-linked organisation to desist from threatening and intimidating members of the media.
BLF has abided by at least one aspect of the judgement.
The movement published a statement on their website - as ordered by the court - that they don't condone acts of violence on journalists.
"BLF assures the applicants that it would not, and had never intended to, harm them in anyway. Our fight is with racism and BLF shall continue to use our fundamental right to protest to counter any acts of racism. Only the end of racism shall ensure enduring peace for all in a just society where all citizens shall have equal substantive rights," reads the statement.

"BLF also welcomes the clarification by the order that private homes are not zones of protest. The standard of protesting at homes of citizens was becoming a common occurrence in our society. From now on, no one shall dare launch any protest at the private homes of their adversaries."
This follows confrontations soon after court proceedings ended, with BLF members hurling insults towards Sanef members.
