The SABC news reader stated, from her text, that hundreds of supporters had been present at a rally in support of Israel in its clash with Palestinians. The Complainant stated that he had been present at the rally and that there were, in his opinion, more or less 3000 supporters. The Commission held that the error had not been substantial as it, in any case, appeared on screen that there were much more than hundreds of supporters present. No bias from the side of the SABC could be inferred from this error. Complaint dismissed.
