ANC claims 'overwhelming support for MAT

• Mail & Guardian: ANC: 'Overwhelming support' for tribunal... Surprise, surprise... Of course the ANC branches would support any bill proposed by the ANC hierarchy; if they didn't, they'd be in trouble, right?
  
• IOL: Thloloe joins media freedom debate... The Press Ombudsman objects to the manner in which the ANC has 'put a gun' to the media in an effort to force it to co-operate in its own 'rape'.
  
• IOL: 'Our priceless freedom is being abused'... Well, you can't say The Daily News isn't being fair - it has published an edited extract from the ANC's discussion document on the media - Media Transformation, Ownership and Diversity. In it, the ANC says 'A cursory scan of the print media reveals an astonishing degree of dishonesty, lack of professional integrity and lack of independence.' Many would reckon that description could also be applied to a number of ANC appointees in the public and private sectors. So, amongst other instances of suspected corruption and crime that are not related to the ruling party, the media has been reporting on alleged corruption and greed on the part of some of the party faithful, and the ANC doesn't seem to like that. But, a question... If the print media is so chock-a-block with dishonest reporting (i.e. lies) as the ANC claims, then why aren't the courts chock-a-block with civil cases?
