Scores of journalists and members of the public on Friday braved the winter chill to protest against the South African Broadcasting Corporation's (SABC) editorial policy of not covering violent protests. 

The South African National Editors Forum called on journalists to wear black to picket outside the SABC's offices in support of journalists who were suspended from their jobs for disagreeing with the editorial policy.
