The South African National Editors’ Forum (Sanef) has called on police to investigate and arrest protesters responsible for attacks on SABC journalists and the theft of their cellphones and recording equipment during the march against foreigners in Pretoria on Friday.

Sanef urged journalists to report the incidents to the police and appealed to the community to remember that journalists needed to be able to do their work without fear or favour.
