When former President Jacob Zuma accused senior state prosecutor Billy Downer of leaking confidential medical information to journalist Karyn Maughan, she couldnโt have imagined how severely it would impact her life. For several months, Zuma pursued a private prosecution of both, placing Maughan in the crosshairs of some of the former presidentโs staunchest supporters. In court, Downer and Maughan emerged victorious. But she endured such violent online vitriol that she was forced to retreat to her family home. As a journalist, sheโs not alone. It seems South Africaโs judiciary is being used as a battleground to harass and intimidate journalists and prevent them from doing their work. Carte Blanche examines how media freedom is under attack.

Shocking video, wouldn't put it above the elite in our country to silence their opposition.
Also, having Derek at the end felt…odd. Not sure if it's just me.
Journalists are the voice of the people.
You meant bias press freedomโฆwe now know you are sponsored by Goerge Soros Foundation and CIA
I honestly don't think they care about whether we are aware of their criminal behaviour (or even the extent of it). I feel like lately there has been an escalated level of violence and intimidation as a strategy used to frighten people into being "obedient".
These coconuts are being used to push their puppet masters agenda..?
Investigative Journalist is one of the last bastions of our democracy, and the voice of the under-trodden and disadvantaged of society….
#ancmustgo . why is the idi#ot
corrupt jakob zooema still walking around?
Anc dogs need to pay for their corruption
Glad Carte Blanche covered this…. Journalistic freedomis essential to counter- balance the propaganda served up by the legacy media. Sadly all poly – tics is full of greedy and corrupt individuals…no matter what ideology they espouse. ๐ข
Its been said that Zuma is putting up a Stalingrad defense. His strategy is to tie his charges up in litigation until he dies. I doubt if he is ever going to wear a prison uniform. Perhaps Duduzane. I am not holding my breath.
If you get threats then it means you are doing your job properly and they are guilty of what you have published. Zuma actions makes him even more quilty people that's innocent brush those nonsense allegations off and move one.
Zuma is a mafia boss. He should be jailed and the Keyes thrown away
We support the work you are doing as journalists
her skin is bad
I remember wanting to be an investigative journalist during my matric year. I wanted to be known for unearthing the truth. My family LITERALLY begged me not to pursue it and luckily other forms of media bit the bug. Main reason was it was not a safe career because of how our country was structured. I have no regrets.
What sickens me that there are individuals with the higher education and knowledge in law, having to answer to gangster in this country who want to bend the rule of law for there own sick agenda
Investigate Cheeba Africa and other cannabis business and how poor and middle class people are let out daily maverick surname bud state cannabis capture
Nah this channel has been channeling propaganda under our nose ๐.
but how did she obtain the medical records of the former President if the information was not publicly accessible?
Journos remain our voice and must never be silenced
Well done! Protect the journalists, Wealthy crooks trying silence the thruth.
Shocking …a former president bullying a person who is reporting the truth …just shows …he(they) got so many skeletons in the closest…sicking๐คข
*NB: Please read our rules before commenting. lol
Carte Blanche useless in this regard
The corruption being committed by the so called political leaders is already at its heights. Imagine how much worse it would be if journalists weren't legally allowed to uncover these politicians' scandals.
Shocking….
Ending the video with Derek was a nice touch๐ข
Derick watt continue to rest in the hands of the lord of journalism.
How is this Criminal Zuma still causing issues in our country? He truly is the idiot Trump of South Africa.
