Public protest at MultiChoice City as #NotInMyName organisation says female MultiChoice staffers are victimised through sexual harassment.

A public protest was held on Friday morning in front of Naspers' pay-TV unit MultiChoice at its MultiChoice City headquarters in Randburg, Johannesburg where the #NotInMyName organisation, as well as some MultiChoice staffers participated in picketing over allegations of rape and sexual harassment of women at the pay-TV company.

Protesters are furious over the way MultiChoice has allegedly not been doing enough to help a rape victim working at MultiChoice and to address sexual harassment of workers.

Siyabulela Jentile of the #NotInMyName organisation says women working at MultiChoice are being victimised through sexual harassment and that "there are women here [at MultiChoice] who say that they have been sexually harassed".

The new MultiChoice South Africa CEO Calvo Mawela on Friday met #NotInMyName protesters.

MultiChoice didn't issue a public press statement following the protest and Calvo Mawela's meeting with them.

Earlier in the week MultiChoice said the satellite pay-TV operator will start a "thorough investigation" after a South African woman who is still working for MultiChoice and previously said she was raped in 2014, allegedly made new and further revelations, saying she was also raped by senior MultiChoice colleagues in 2014.

When the victim complained to a MultiChoice executive about further issues regarding the alleged abusive culture inside MultiChoice, the executive called Simon allegedly told her in an email: "cheers".

Siyabulela Jentile says the worker who says she was raped after a late night work shift that ends at 23:00 has not received adequate support from MultiChoice.

"There is a culture [at MultiChoice] of disrespecting women".

He said "we are calling on all women, not only on those of MultiChoice, to actually come out and speak out against corporate sexual harassment."

Mandisa Mashego of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) political party says "MultiChoice makes their workers knock off late in the dead of the night and then find themselves having to walk to taxi ranks at midnight often."

Africa's Big Brother on MultiChoice's DStv rocked by yet another sexual assault in Endemol Shine's Big Brother Naija house produced for M-Net.

Africa's latest Big Brother season has again been marred by a sex assault that saw a contestant being expelled from Big Brother Niaja after he was seen inappropriately touching and feeling a sleeping female contestant.

The latest incident in the controversial show is once again raising concern about why M-Net and the producers, Endemol Shine Africa, are not adequately protecting participants, especially women, in the show despite several prior promises to put better measures in place after previous sexual and physical assaults against women.

In the latest shocking incident, the contestant Kenem was expelled after viewers saw how he assaulted a sleeping T-Boss who had no idea what was happening to her.

Footage placed on YouTube went viral until YouTube suddenly blocked it saying it's been removed because its "violating YouTube's policy on nudity or sexual content".

Kemen was removed from the camera house in Linden, Johannesburg, where previous versions of Big Brother Africa and Big Brother Mzansi were filmed and where the latest second season of Big Brother Naija is taking place.

Although made for Nigeria, Big Brother Naija is broadcast 24 hours per day to the whole continent on MultiChoice's DStv satellite pay-TV platform.

Kemen has gone to ground since his removal and isn't speaking to the media.

MultiChoice Africa and Endemol Shine Africa have twice been asked for a statement.

In a response M-Net says "M-Net and the show producers Endemol Shine Africa are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all housemates in the Big Brother house at all times."

"We view the actions of Kemen as inappropriate behaviour, and as such we considered this in a very serious light and will continue to take necessary disciplinary action against housemates who break the rules of conduct in the Big Brother house".

In February 2014 the Big Brother Mzansi contestant Mbali Zulu was was expelled after he physically assaulted and slapped Iris Miya.

After the incident M-Net CEO Yolisa Phahle said "our viewers understand that these isolated incidents do not represent our brand" and that "the safety of reality show contestants continues to be M-Net's paramount concern, so all contestants are screened intensively and undergo vigorous psychological, as well as medical assessments, with highly qualified practitioners within these fields prior to their selection for any reality show".

In 2010 Endemol Shine and M-Net had to expel Hannington Kuteesa after fighting with a female contestant in Big Brother, and in 2013 contestant Nando was given the boot from the show.

During the second season of Big Brother Africa Ofunneka was sexually assaulted by contestant Richard.

After the latest sexual assault, the previous Big Brother housemate Lexi Van on social media said that "This upsets me! I know a lot of men like this!"
