eNCA pulls out a \u2018doek wearing\u2019 reporter\u2019s story and social media is not happy. In an email that circulated on twitter earlier this week, eNCA reported Nontobeko Sibisi says it was one of the most shocking and gravely disappointing actions she had ever experienced at eNCA. The blacklash has ignited a #respekthedoek trend on twitter.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast week, I put together a story on an African cross-border music collaboration of four musicians from Nigeria, Zimbabwe and South Africa. A perfect Africa story of African collaboration during African month, shot during Africa Day,\u201d she wrote in the email.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, because for nine seconds of an about three-minute piece, I appear wearing a doek \u2013 the story was taken off air without my knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sibisi says there was unfairness, unprofessionalism, inconsistent application of \u2018rules\u2019\u00a0 an intentional lack of communication and unjustifiable recourse. \u201cI\u2019ve listened, read many of your comments on #Doek including our Editor in Chief A.Harber \u2013 some discussions + changes are brewing,\u201d she tweeted.<\/p>\n

Even Minister Mbalula stands by #respekthedoek.<\/p>\n
