A delegation from the South African National Editor’s Forum (Sanef) met with National Police Commissioner Bheki Cele in Johannesburg on Wednesday to discuss the problems journalists experience when police refuse them access to crime scenes and information.

A delegation from the South African National Editor’s Forum (Sanef) met with National Police Commissioner Bheki Cele in Johannesburg on Wednesday to discuss the problems journalists experience when police refuse them access to crime scenes and information.

This follows a meeting between the Minister and Deputy Minister of Police and Sanef earlier this month. Cele said: “I heard a variety of concerns from the editors which included the arrest of journalists, problems they are experiencing at crime scenes, and an apparent lack of information at times.

We have to find an amicable solution for both the police and the media. We must allow both parties to do their jobs without any problems.”

It was agreed that there needs to be ongoing, regular meetings between Sanef and the SAPS. It was also agreed that a high-level task team of representatives from both Sanef and the SAPS be formed immediately, which will convene as early as next week to discuss the proposed restructuring of the SAPS communications department as well as other communication challenges.

Sanef Chairperson Jovial Rantao said that the media are committed to accurate, balanced and fair reporting. “It is important for the police to share their good efforts in order for the media to report their successes.”
