𝗲𝗡𝗖𝗔 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 The Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa (BCCSA) has dismissed eNCA’s application for leave to appeal against both its finding and sanction. The news channel must now broadcast the prescribed correction and apology to Solidarity, unless it appeals again. The case stems from a broadcast on 25 March 2026 in which eNCA presenters claimed that Solidarity had been spreading messages about genocide in the United States. The BCCSA found that the broadcast created an inaccurate and unfair impression of Solidarity’s position. Despite eNCA’s determined attempt to overturn the finding or have the sanction reduced, the original ruling therefore stands. The BCCSA found that eNCA had failed to demonstrate that the tribunal’s decision was clearly wrong. A presenter must now read the following statement on the same morning programme: “𝘖𝘯 25 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 2026, 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘈𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘈𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘶𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦.
