The South African National Editors Forum’s (Sanef) acting Gauteng convener, Hopewell Radebe, has condemned a move by Kaizer Chiefs following their announcement to prevent the players from conducting interviews to the media.
According to the Amakhosi corporate communications manager, Vina Maphosa, the measure is an instruction from their sponsors.
With the country in lockdown and the Premier Soccer League (PSL) season suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, Radebe said the situation was unfortunate and calling it a disservice to deny opportunities to the media.
