Trade union Solidarity and four reinstated South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) journalists will return to court if they are not allowed back at work on Wednesday. Foeta Krige‚ Suna Venter‚ Krivani Pillay and Jacques Steenkamp were reinstated by the Labour Court in Johannesburg on Tuesday. The SABC had dismissed them last week for allegedly breaching the terms of their employment contracts‚ but the Labour Court found that the dismissals were unlawful. Solidarity head Dirk Hermann celebrated the victory at a press conference after court proceedings had wrapped up and said that the SABC would be monitored closely in the following days.“We can say from our side: it’s game‚ set and match in this matter of [SABC chief operating officer Hlaudi] Motsoeneng and the Republic of South Africa.“We’ll go back to court if the SABC does not abide by the order‚” he said.Hermann added that the case against the public broadcaster was more than just a labour matter: “The reason why the SABC saga has attracted so much interest was because Motsoeneng had challenged constitutional democracy and democracy prevailed … a strategic battle has been won‚ but ultimately the war must still be won.”The Labour Court has given the SABC's general manager of radio news and current affairs‚ Sebolelo Ditlhakanyane‚ and its acting group executive of news and current affairs‚ Malolo Tebele‚ five days to file affidavits explaining why they should not be held personally liable for the costs of the journalists' application.Krige‚ whose daughters travelled from Port Elizabeth and Stellenbosch to support their father‚ said the support he and his colleagues had received from other journalists gave him newfound respect for the profession.“[Former SABC acting group CEO] Jimi Matthews said it’s cold outside. He was wrong. The tremendous support we received made it so warm.”Venter‚ Steenkamp and Pillay also thanked their colleagues‚ families and legal team for their support.“Having such support won half the battle for us‚” Venter said.The four were dismissed with colleagues Thandeka Gqubule‚ Busisiwe Ntuli‚ Lukhanyo Calata and Vuyo Mvoko.The group will meet on Tuesday afternoon to discuss an application they launched at the Constitutional Court against the SABC‚ in light of the Labour Court judgment. ..
