The need for a body like the Presidential Press Corps (PPC) has become increasingly
evident as the recent relationship between the South African president and this country's
press can only be characterised as poor.
The establishment of the PPC potentially presents an ethical dilemma though due to
various factors. A joumalist can only serve the public with the most comprehensive and
accurate news when his or her finger is on the pulse of events that take place within the
decision-making bodies. However, being so close to those in power may seriously
threaten journalistic independence. This dilemma would be discussed in detail in this
In May 200 I, the troubled relationship between Mbeki and the media was tackled at an
Indaba between the South African National Editor's Forum (SANEF) and cabinet at Sun
City. The crux and outcome of these discussions are set forth in The lf/oy Fo/wOld, a
report prepared by those attending the Indaba. The establishment of the PPC is one of
eight joint government and media initiatives outlined in this report.
Although there is overwhelming support for the Pl'C, there is concern that the Pl'C
members would be censored, manipulated and controlled by government as a result of
their proximity. The Freedom of Expression Institute (FXI) believes the implications are
far reaching and pose a serious threat to a free press.
This first group of Pl'C journalists is going where no other has gone before in this
country's history. They are however facing a daunting task, as the arena they are entering
is fraught with novelties, challenges, obstacles and temptations.
This assignment will examine the media's role in a democracy, the challenges of far
closer cooperation between the media and government, the ethical dilemma potentially
presented by the Pl'C as well as ways to ensure as far as possible, an ethical and
professional relationship between government and the corps's members.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die regenng en die media is in die proses om Suid-Afrika se eerste Presidensiele
Perskorps (PPK) te stig. Die konsep is geskoei op die van die Wit Huis Perskorps in die
Verenigde State van Amerika.
'n Dringende behoefte bestaan in Suid-Afrika aan 'n liggaam soos die PPK aangesien dit
duidelik geword het dat die verhouding tussen die president en die media nie na wense is
nie. Die stigting van die PPK kan egter weens verskeie faktore eties-problematies wees.
Joernaliste kan die publiek slegs voorsien van akkurate nuus indien hulle vingers op die
polsslag van gebeure binne die land se besluitnemende liggame is. Joernalistieke
onafhanklikheid kan egter in gedrang kom indien die verhouding tussen die "waghond"
en die regering te intiem raak. Die PPK-Iede sal na verwagting weens gereelde kontak 'n
veel hegter verhouding met die president he as wat die geval is met ander joemaliste.
Die vertroebelde verhouding tussen die media en president Thabo Mbeki is in Mei 200 1
bespreek tydens 'n lndaba by Sun City. Een van die inisiatiewe waarop daar
ooreengekom is in 'n poging om die probleme aan te pak, is die stigting van die PPK. Die
Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Redakteursforum en die regering hoop dat die korps sal bydra
tot 'n vryer vloei van inligting asook tot 'n beter verstandbouding tussen die regering en
Hoewel daar oorweldigende steun is vir die PPK, is daar ook vrese dat die korps se lede
gemanupileer en beheer sal word deur die kabinet.Die eerste groep PPK-lede gaan baanbrekerswerk verrig, maar die pad voor hulle is
onbekend en vol potensiele gevare. Die uitdagings, slaggate sowel as maniere hoe etiese
probleme oorkom kan word, word in hierdie werkstuk bespreek.
