Standard Bank is against media freedom - Sifiso Mahlangu

Join us for a thought-provoking episode of Power to Truth, where host Jost JJ Tabane engaged in an enlightening conversation with The Star Editor, Sifiso Mahlangu. In this gripping interview, they delved deep into the shocking decision made by Standard Bank to close the bank accounts of Independent Media-a move that sent shockwaves through the world of journalism and media freedom advocates.
Independent Media is the publisher of South Africa's largest English-speaking newspapers, including The Star, Cape Times, and Isolezwe, among others. The repercussions of this decision were far-reaching, as it raised fundamental questions about media freedom, censorship, and the power dynamics within the media landscape.
In this insightful discussion, Tabane and Mahlangu dissected the implications of Standard Bank's actions, shedding light on the critical role media plays in a democratic society and the challenges it faces in maintaining its independence. Viewers joined as they navigated this complex issue, seeking the truth and advocating for a free press.

The fact that a service provider reserves the right to interfere in the free flow of ideas is alarming, to say the least. Your right to disagree is sacrosanct, and so is that of your enemy. The fact that their shares declined as a result is something to be grateful for. They are Banksters, and not only @ Standard

That is why we need a state own bank, but I doubt the current administration of ruling party will create it.
