Earlier in February the printed media published the contents of a tape which Mr Bester had made of a 
discussion with Mr Markgraaff. It is not disputed that Markgraaff’s statements were racially derogatory towards Blacks.
The SABC broadcast a translation of the words used by Mr Markgraaff in the form of what may be called a send-up of the original. The translation was read with bleep-outs of the racially derogatory words. A profanity in the form of “Jesus” was, however, left intact. The Complainant argued that the Respondent should have bleeped-out the “Jesus” as well.
