eNCA Pulls Out A ‘Doek Wearing’ Reporter’s Story

eNCA pulls out a ‘doek wearing’ reporter’s story and social media is not happy. In an email that circulated on twitter earlier this week, eNCA reported Nontobeko Sibisi says it was one of the most shocking and gravely disappointing actions she had ever experienced at eNCA. The blacklash has ignited a #respekthedoek trend on twitter.

“Last week, I put together a story on an African cross-border music collaboration of four musicians from Nigeria, Zimbabwe and South Africa. A perfect Africa story of African collaboration during African month, shot during Africa Day,” she wrote in the email.

“Now, because for nine seconds of an about three-minute piece, I appear wearing a doek – the story was taken off air without my knowledge.”

Sibisi says there was unfairness, unprofessionalism, inconsistent application of ‘rules’  an intentional lack of communication and unjustifiable recourse. “I’ve listened, read many of your comments on #Doek including our Editor in Chief A.Harber – some discussions + changes are brewing,” she tweeted.

Even Minister Mbalula stands by #respekthedoek.
