The two complainants, prominent members of the Worcester Coloured community, complained that 
the SABC constantly portrayed the Brown People as simple-minded, drunkards, poverty-stricken, criminals or without any ideals. Argued that this was not so : the Brown People were focused on high ideals and were proud to be part of the new dispensation.
Commission holding that the complaint did not fall within the ambit of the Broadcasting Code, but that it would convey this perception to the SABC CEO.
