- Mail & Guardian: Former ANN7 editor fears for safety... Just days after being in the news and on YouTube for what some originally thought to be a satirical take on how not to launch a TV channel, ANN7 is in the news again.
This time it is because, according to Mail & Guardian, "a former ANN7 employee says he fears for his life after turning down a severance package and was threatened by an alleged ANN7 bodyguard".
It seems Rajesh Sundaram claims that he was threatened by an armed bodyguard (who needs a bodyguard in a TV studio? Just asking) and then a senior employee after he allegedly declined a severance package. Now, he says, he fears for his life.
Following that little episode, there was what Mail & Guardian refers to as "a mysterious burglary at the hotel where Sundaram is staying, hours after the detailed expose to the media".
Sundaram's reported as saying yesterday that he told the policeman who took his statement that should anything happen to him, the police should ask the Guptas for answers.
First an underwhelming launch, and now this?
These are not the best ways to get your name out there.
