# Daily Maverick has welcomed the High Court in Johannesburg’s dismissal with costs of businessman Collen Mashawana’s urgent application against the publication. Mashawana had sought an order to prevent further reporting by Daily Maverick and investigative journalist Pieter-Louis Myburgh on corruption allegations against him, his foundation and suspended Independent Development Trust CEO Tebogo Malaka. Acting Judge Alex Pullinger struck the application from the roll. Myburgh says this is a big victory for investigative journalism and media freedom.
