# The South African National Editors’ Forum says it has decided to appoint an independent legal team to evaluate the evidence against its chairperson and Sunday Times editor, Makhudu Sefara. This follows a Special Investigating Unit report implicating him in alleged wrongdoing related to the National Lotteries Commission. Todi Media Development received 1.5-million-rand for a project intended to cover journalists’ accommodation, car rentals, and marketing. Sefara allegedly received 550-thousand-rand of that amount. SANEF says Sefara has stepped aside as chairperson pending an investigation.
