ENCA has announced that it will not be airing an interview with Former President Zuma on Power to Truth with JJ Tabane on Monday evening.
In a statement released on Monday afternoon on X (formerly known as Twitter) by the news agency, they said that “the interview cannot be broadcast tonight as it is so close to the elections.”
“It has come to the attention of the management of eNCA that rumours have been circulating on social media that an interview between JJ Tabane and ex-President Zuma will be broadcast tonight. These statements were not sanctioned by eNCA. The interview cannot be broadcast tonight as it is so close to the elections. For this reason, all current affairs programmes, including Power to Truth, have been cancelled this week.”

They further stated that they cannot advance the interest of any one political party over another
“eNCA cannot advance the interest of any one political party over another. If the interview was broadcast all other political parties would need to be given equivalent airtime which is impossible at this stage. eNCA will be complying with all its regulatory obligations prohibiting it from broadcasting such interviews less than 48 hours before an election.”
“No interviews with anyone representing a political party will be broadcast until after the election. eNCA favours no political party over any other and the failure to broadcast the interview has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that it involved ex-President Zuma and his MK party.”
