As the international community continue to slap Russia with sanctions from every corner, the ANC has labelled the European Unions’ sanctions, including its media operations as draconian, and wants it to justify its position.

ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe says the EU’s actions has subsequently resulted in the South African MultiChoice platform unilaterally withdrawing Russian TV from its offerings, negatively impacting freedom of choice to subscribers, and limiting their consumption on the developments in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

MultiChoice confirmed that the Russian channel, RT, which use to be available on channel 407, will not be on the DStv platform until further notice.
