SEDIBENG.- Whether you invite Zakes’ Sports Corner or not to your sporting events, I will show up!

Zakes’ Sports Corner wants to make this special plea to event organisers in this region, whether they are political activities or sports activities, treat us equally. As members of the media from different media houses, we expect the same treatment when attending your events.

Yours Truly, Zakes’ Sports Corner doesn’t want to be treated like a “celebrity journalist.”

I’m there to do my job!

This thing of treating other media houses special at the expense of others must come to an end. Zakes’ Sports Corner has been experiencing this for some time now. The truth is that even if you don’t want Zakes’ Sports Corner at your event, I will still show up, especially if the event is in the public’s interest.

Zakes’ Sports Corner experienced this at one of the sporting events over the weekend. Not every sports journalist wants handouts, some of us are there to do our job and leave.

We don’t expect red-carpet treatment from the organisers!

They can give their friends that “celebrity” treatment, not Zakes’ Sports Corner.

For those who care to listen to this, as journalists, we work for the community, we are accountable to the community we serve.

If this continues to happen, Zakes’ Sport Corner has no choice but to report this sort of treatment to the highest authority in the media industry.
