On the Forum@8 this morning we are in conversation with Rajesh Sundaram, a former editor at ANN7, whose new book claims former president Jacob Zuma was directly involved in the creation and editorial policy of the controversial Gupta-linked news channel. Rajesh worked as a consulting editor at ANN7, and he claims they were being forced to take pro Zuma stances on the GUPTA TV. Rajesh Sundaram claims in his book, that the then president Jacob Zuma shaped the policies at ANN7, suggested the name of the channel - ANN7 and even went so far as interefering in HR processes by suggesting names of people he wanted on board.
