Multichoice have a bad track record when it comes to telling the truth about anything, the company has its genesis in a concession granted under the regime of PW Botha. If you want to limit the corporation's messaging to the public, I suggest you stop employing your own journalists, and rather release statements to media which you don't own.\ But of course, that would mean, you can't spin the story any which way you please. Justice for Robbie Jansen, No to the Naspers Media Cartel.
