SA Justice Minister Reprimands Nigerian Journalist for Interrupting Migration Briefing
South Africa’s Minister of Justice, Mmamoloko Kubayi, warned a Nigerian reporter to observe proper procedure during an Inter-Ministerial Committee on Migration briefing. The exchange arose after the journalist demanded an apology from the Minister in the Presidency over rejected compensation demands for Nigerians affected by anti-immigrant protests. Kubayi insisted that questions follow the chair’s order and asked the journalist to wait for another round rather than interrupt. She reminded attendees that respect and proper media protocol help facilitate constructive dialogue. After the reprimand, a security official approached the journalist, who then appeared unsettled and resumed listening to Kubayi’s briefing on South Africa’s migration policies.
