CASE NO: 33/2014 – SCHWARTZ VS SABC3 – PUBLIC IMPORTANCE

Complaints that biased and incorrect views were broadcast by the Respondent in regard to the Israel-Gaza conflict were not upheld on the ground that a contrary view by the Israeli Ambassador and a representative from the Jewish Board of Deputies was also broadcast. In any case, where foreign matters are broadcast, the higher level of balance which is required in regard to South African affairs of public importance is not required. Complaints not upheld.
