The African National Congress (ANC) has stated that the removal of Russia Today (RT) from the list of Multichoice channels available for viewership is an infringement on the peoples rights.<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0South Africa\u2019s ruling party, the decision to withdraw the TV station has negatively impacted \u201cthe freedom of choice to subscribers\u201d.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued on Saturday, Paul Mabe, ANC spokesperson, said the development limits subscribers\u2019 consumption of news on the developments in the Ukraine-Russia<\/a> conflict.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ANC believes that this censorship act done in bad faith during human rights month in South Africa undermines subscribers freedom of association and negatively impacts on the need for plurality of views and media freedom which is sacrosanct and provided for in our constitution,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reasons conveyed by MultiChoice in seeking to justify this censorship act are quite bizarre and lack any legal and humane justification.<\/p>\n

\u201cStifling the plurality and diversity of views undermines internationally agreed principles on freedom of speech, choice and association.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ANC condemns in the strongest terms possible any form of bias by media conglomerates in South Africa which limits the plurality and diversity of views.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven at this late hour, the EU must still provide legal justification for this course of action.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur own competition commission should also act to safeguard the interest of subscribers of Multichoice by quantifying the loss and demanding of such to be reimbursed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ANC also calls on Multichoice to reconsider its decision of censorship and immediately reinstate Russian TV on its platform.\u201d<\/p>\n

Governments across the world have been ramping up sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

In the past few days, global corporations, including car manufacturers and energy giants, have severed business ties with Russia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
