Kill the Messenger: A classic South African response
John Perlman -- the whistleblower that forced an investigation into the SABC (South African Broadcasting Corporation) practice of blacklisting news commentators that do not toe the party line -- faces disciplinary action. The charge? Bringing the corporation into disrepute.

More power to FXI (the Freedom of Expression Institute) -- predictably -- and to COSATU -- perhaps a little less predictably -- for expressing support for Perlman.
John Perlman is a journalist on SABC station SAfm.
