Media Monitoring Africa Head of Programmes Thandi Smith has recognised government’s role in supporting and promoting media freedom while reflecting of the 30 years of media freedom in the country.
“We can be confident in celebrating the gains that we have made. The 2023 World Press Freedom Index has shown that South Africa ranks 25 out of 180 countries in terms of a free press, which is something to celebrate,” Smith said on Wednesday.
