Appeal against a finding of the adjudicator that the complainant’s privacy and dignity had not been infringed during the broadcast of Rea Tsotella on 13 May 2024. The complainant was specifically concerned about being questioned about his powers and the innuendos of witchcraft levelled against him. Leave to appeal was only granted against the finding that his dignity had not been infringed. The question whether he has given permission to participate in the programme or for it to be broadcast, falls outside the remit of the BCCSA. The complainant did not attend the hearing but was represented by his son whose submissions relating to the infringement of his father’s dignity cannot be accepted. The appeal has been dismissed.
