Sanef had approached the court to interdict the movement from intimidating and attacking journalists reporting on state capture.

The High Court started off hearing arguments from legal aides on Thursday.

The court interdict‚ requested at the High Court in Johannesburg‚ was sought by Sanef after the BLF held a demonstration outside the private home of journalist and Tiso Blackstar editor-at-large Peter Bruce and assaulting Business Day editor Tim Cohen last week.
