'Apartheid was much more than bullying episode' - BCCSA on Tumi Morake comments
23 November 2017
Johannesburg – Breakfast show host Tumi Morake's comments about her feelings on apartheid did not incite harm, a Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa (BCCSA) tribunal has ruled.
Morake sparked controversy on September 12 when she compared apartheid to a bully, who forcefully took a child's bicycle and then made the child share it.
A Pretoria business then threatened to pull advertising from the radio station, while trade union Solidarity laid a formal complaint with the South Africa Human Rights Commission (SAHRC), HuffPost SA reported at the time.
However, on Tuesday the BCCSA tribunal ruled in Morake's favour.
