Ann7

Rajesh Sundaram alleges that Atul Gupta had access to intelligence relating to the movements of journalists working for the Gupta media empire

The new channel, founded by Thabile Ngwato and Thokozani Nkosi, is a 24-hours channel that will be launched by the MultiChoice Group on Thursday

Many of the journalists on Malema’s list have already been subjected to a torrent of abuse on social media platforms

Former GCIS CEO Mzwanele Manyi testified before the state capture commission on Wednesday in an unexpected turn of events

In late January MultiChoice announced the news channel’s contract will not be renewed when it lapses in August 2018

Earlier this year MultiChoice had a briefing following the probe, indicating that no irregular payments were made to ANN7

Employees at the channel have been left stranded after it was removed from the DStv bouquet but the Communication Workers Union says it is not the end

The negative perception of its previous owners, the Guptas, persisted which also negatively impacted the company’s financials, Manyi explained

​Mzwanele Manyi claims he has paid the Gupta family in full for ANN7 and The New Age newspaper, the Sund​ay Times reported on Sunday

Dlamini-Zuma later issued an apology, saying the tweet did not represent her views, claiming her account had been hacked.

A former editor at ANN7 has lifted the lid on how Gupta employees deceived MultiChoice into believing it was ready to launch on its DStv platform

Rajesh Sundaram claims that Zuma shaped the policies at ANN7, suggested its name and even went so far as to play a role in appointing presenters.

Naspers-owned MultiChoice announced on January 31 that it was looking for a black-owned media company to replace ANN7’s slot.

‘​When MultiChoice chief executive Calvo Mawela addressed the media this week, he was contrite. There had been “mistakes”, he said’

MultiChoice was equally clear about the consequences of its ‘mistake’ — when ANN7’s contract ends in August, it will be dropped from DStv
