Sanelisiwe Sibanda filed a complaint with the MCC over a story published by the B-Metro on 30 September – 6th October 2016 edition headlined “Naughty Girl Woes for Naughty Daddy … secretly records father’s steamy phone-sex sessions with girlfriend”.
Sanelisiwe was aggrieved and raised the following concerns in her complaint:
· That the headline was false, inaccurate and malicious to all persons mentioned in the story
· The headline, (as well as leading paragraphs) was based on the contents of phone messages whose nature was never divulged in court, thereby rendering the entire story inaccurate, unbalanced and misleading.
· There were no facts linking the alleged phone sex sessions as implied by the reporter to the actual words spoken by the source in court meaning the B-METRO story was premised on false interpretations by the reporter.
