Sowetan must be careful!

On Tuesday March 4 2008, Sowetan published a story about a man who is alleged to have set fire to the ANC headquaters, Luthuli House. What made the article different from those in other newspapers was the fact that, the alleged arsonist's identity and name was published.
This was done despite the media law that requires reporters not to identify or name people suspected of committing a crime before they appear and plead to the charges in the court of law. The same article was published by The Times, but the person was never identified or named because they had never pleaded to the charges. What made Sowetan do the opposite?
