  • SABC Board Behind New Boss

    SABC board members scorn reports suggesting there is a rift between the new board and the ­public broadcaster’s new chief executive, Solly Mokoetle

    SABC board members have scorned weekend reports suggesting there is a rift between the new board and the ­public broadcaster’s new chief executive, Solly Mokoetle.

    According to a Sunday Times report the new board is set to challenge Mokoetle’s appointment by the SABC’s interim board.

    The Sunday Times quoted anonymous board members saying they would act on the Gobodo findings, allegedly that Mokoetle had failed in his corporate governance duties.

  • Maake on Hunger Strike Against SABC

    Actor-director Sello Maake ka Ncube is going on a hunger strike in protest of the way government and the SABC have been spending the public’s money

    Actor-director Sello Maake ka Ncube is going hungry for 30 days to protest the way government and the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) have been spending the public’s money.

    Maake, who joined a growing group of media professionals whose stated aim is to use the hunger strike to shame the SABC into getting its act together, believes South Africans are starving for local content.

    Maake says he had to take a stand because the public broadcaster is abusing the African culture.
