Complaint regarding an alleged headline in a SABC3 news bulletin at 8 pm, which referred to the 
news story in the upcoming bulletin regarding the re-opening of the inquiry into Samora Machel’s “murder”, which was incorrect according to the complainant. The complainant argued that it was not a case of murder, but of pilot error, as found by a commission of inquiry and therefore the headline was incorrect. Tribunal held that since SABC3 does not broadcast a news bulletin at 8 pm, and no trace of the word “murder” could be found in the 7 pm news bulletin, the facts before the Tribunal did not support the complaint. Complaint dismissed.
