# The Press Council of South Africa has upheld the ruling in favor of the SABC against Sunday Times and TimesLIVE on a complaint centred on reports claiming the broadcaster cancelled Face the Nation due to pressure from the ANC and government officials. The Press Ombud found the publications breached the Press Code by presenting allegations as facts and failing to publish important new information. The outlets have been ordered to issue an unconditional apology, retract the claims, and publish the SABC’s audience figures and reasons for the programme’s cancellation.
