In 2023, businessman Zunaid Moti sought to gag amaBhungane from reporting on his business and to obtain details of the documents we received from a source. The South African Editors Forum, Media Monitoring Africa, the Campaign for Free Expression and Corruption Watch joined our urgent court proceedings as amici.These entities assisted in putting important information before the court on principles of journalistic independence and the role of the media in uncovering corruption.
