The Broadcaster broadcast a news bulletin regarding the affairs of the Riemvasmaak Gemeenskap Ontwikkelingstrust. In the bulletin, reference was made to two former administrators of the Trust who were convicted of theft. From the evidence before the Tribunal it appeared that the conviction of the two had been set aside by the High Court. Reference was also made in the broadcast to the Trust being under administration. From the evidence by the chairman of the Trust before the Tribunal it is clear that the Trust was not under administration. The Tribunal found a contravention of clause 11(1) of the Code and the complaint was upheld. The Tribunal agreed that a correction and an apology should be broadcast.
