Addressing the critical issue of media safety, Mr. Thembo urged members of the press to prioritize and actively assume personal responsibility for their well-being and security, particularly as they undertake their duties covering electoral processes. This important call comes amidst a backdrop of escalating concern regarding incidents of violence and harassment targeting media practitioners during their professional assignments. The Commission’s head underscored the necessity for journalists to be vigilant and proactive in safeguarding themselves, especially during the high-stakes environment of election reporting, where potential risks can be significantly heightened. The emphasis on individual accountability for safety highlights the serious challenges faced by those on the front lines of news gathering, particularly as the nation approaches the #UgandaDecides2026 electoral cycle.
