The Appellant was granted leave to appeal against the finding of the Commissioner in Adjudication No: 06/A/2023. The initial complaints pertained to an episode of the Isencane Lengane programme on the Moja Love Channel 157 that was broadcast on 22 January at 21.00. The Respondents alleged that the Appellant condoned gender-based violence as portrayed without airing any criticism. After considering all submissions from the Appellant and the Respondents, the Tribunal concluded that there was no contravention of Clause 10 of the Code since there was no incitement of imminent violence or advocacy of gender-based hatred.
The original finding and sanction of Adjudication No: 06/A/2023 were overturned.
