Dlamini said threats against journalists come from various stakeholders including government and other major players.

“So the today’s theme of freedom of expressing being the most important right that facilitates for all the other rights to be observed, is non-existent to us. There’s is no freedom of expression and you must conclude that,”said the Times editor.
