Johannesburg - The application by the SABC to broadcast the appeal of businessman Schabir Shaik has been dismissed by the Constitutional Court, the organisation reported on Thursday.

The SABC had approached the Constitutional Court after the Supreme Court of Appeal refused it permission to broadcast the hearings, as its presence would interfere with the right of the parties to a fair hearing.

Shaik's appeal will be heard in the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein next Tuesday.

In a majority judgment, the Constitutional Court ruled on Thursday that the Supreme Court of Appeals was correct in asserting its right to regulate its own processes.
