ADRIAAN BASSON, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY. You say Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma is “NOT above the law” and hold her directly responsible for threats against your journalist. Death threats are unacceptable. Full stop. But here's the uncomfortable question: When News24 exposed Twatterbaas, you defended the decision to identify him. Now you're demanding accountability from Jacinta. So who holds YOU accountable, Adriaan? Who decides when exposing someone is legitimate journalism and when it crosses the line? Who scrutinises the people who scrutinise everyone else? You cannot appoint yourself the watchdog of South Africa and then act surprised when the public turns the watchdog's eyes on you. Journalists are not above scrutiny. Editors are not above criticism. And News24 does not own the moral high ground by default. If accountability is your standard, apply it to yourself. NO SACRED COWS. NOT EVEN IN THE MEDIA. @AdriaanBasson @News24
