The Registrar received a complaint against the SABC Radio 5fm on account of remarks made by one 
of the presenters Gareth Cliff. The Registrar decided to entertain the complaint. We have come to the conclusion that the view expressed in regard to the mentally disabled promoted violence against the mentally ill. “Promote” does not need to amount to a real and effective promotion. The mere fact that it is promoted is sufficient. The view was put so strongly, that it amounted to more than the expression of a view (which would, in any case, have required balancing in terms of clause 35). It was seriously intent on furthering and thus promoting the medieaval view expressed. There were no or insufficient correctives present.
