"And we also are aware that journalists of radio and television and even social media are self-censored" and wary of local and national governments actions "to penalize journalists who say things the government would prefer that they not say."
“Sizibonile ezinye izikhululo zikanomathotholo zalapha ekhaya zivaliwe ngenxa yezinto ezingenamsebenzi,” utshilo uRenz. "Kwaye siyayazi ukuba iintatheli zikanomathotholo kunye nomabonwakude kunye nemithombo yeendaba zentlalo ziyazivavanya" kwaye zilumkele izenzo zoorhulumente basekhaya kunye nesizwe "zokohlwaya iintatheli ezithetha izinto urhulumente anokukhetha ukuba zingazithethi."
