REBUTTAL

MEDIA STATEMENT / REBUTTAL *The Neo Black Movement of Africa, South Africa (“NBM-SA”)* unequivocally rejects and condemns the false, misleading, and defamatory portrayal of the organisation in eNCA’s Gangland 2, Episode 4, broadcast on 15 January 2026. The programme wrongly depicts NBM-SA—a legally registered organisation with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC)—as a ******** syndicate allegedly linked to violence, ritual practices, and organised crime. These allegations are entirely false, unsupported by verifiable evidence, and were broadcast without balance, proper context, or affording NBM-SA any right of reply. The Neo Black Movement of Africa, is a lawful Pan-African cultural and intellectual organisation founded in 1977 at the University of Benin following the 1976 Soweto Uprising. It is committed to education, social justice, community upliftment, equality, and human dignity. The organisation does not engage in ******** or violent conduct, and its membership is voluntary, non-coercive, and not structured as a ******** or hierarchical enterprise. The broadcast has caused serious and ongoing reputational harm to the organisation and its members. The matter has accordingly been formally referred to the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa (BCCSA). The Neo BlackMovementof Africa-SA places on record that all allegations made in Gangland 2, Episode 4 are false and urges the public to disregard the documentary. The organisation expressly reserves all its rights, including the pursuit of further legal remedies. Issued by: The Neo Black Movement of Africa South Africa Chapter
