Sunday Times journalist Bonny Schoonakker, one of the few South Africans reporting from Baghdad, has been expelled from the country by the Iraqi government, the Saturday Star reported in Johannesburg.
No reasons were given for the expulsion which followed similar moves on Western journalists.
The Sunday Times said on its website that Schoonakker was now in Jordan.
”As the Iraqi authorities clamp down even further on foreign journalists covering the war, our correspondent Bonny Schoonakker was asked to leave Baghdad this week.” – Sapa
