The 1 st applicant company and the 2 nd applicant man who is the moving force behind the first applicant seek urgently, in effect,  an order that the 1 st and 2 nd respondents, EMedia and the Ms Sankaree -Govender remove certain allegations from all their social platforms. Related relief is sought. 2. The applicants say that they are defamed in the programme. They say that they assist persons who have been defrauded by scamming. They say that the programme aired defames them as it accuses them of being the scammers themselves. 3. The programme was first aired as long ago as 27 October 2024. The present application was served on 30 December 2024. 4. On 7 January 2025, the attorney for 1st and 2nd respondents wrote to the applicants’ attorney inviting the latter to withdraw the application as “ the horse had bolted” and that the applicants’ had waited over two months before launching the application. 5. On 8 January 2025, the applicants’ attorney had replied saying that the matter was urgent. 6. On 14 January 2025, the attorney for the 1 st and 2 nd applicants sent a fresh invitation to the applicants’ attorney along similar lines to the letter of 7 January 2025. 7. In my view, any urgency is self created. 8. Costs are sought on a punitive scale by some of the respondents and personally against the applicants’ attorney by 1 st and 2 nd respondents. ORDER 1. Struck off. 2.
