Complaint that Respondent broadcast news that was not truthful and accurate and that they 
intentionally or negligently departed from the facts by referring to the name Tshwane when reporting on news that had occurred in Pretoria. The Tribunal found that the Metropolitan Municipality of Tshwane had been established on 5 December 2000 together with its geographically demarcated area. Although the name Tshwane has not yet been registered as a geographical name, this does not deprive the Metropolitan Municipality of Tshwane together with its geographical demarcated area of its legal status. One has to conclude that there exists a geographical area called Tshwane. The Respondent has therefore not contravened the Broadcasting Code and the complaints cannot be upheld.
