‘SABC boss must fall over Ramaphosa blunder’ – board members

In a leaked memo, two board members implicate CEO Madoda Mxakwe in wrongdoing, after he alleged misconduct on their part

The SABC’s group chief executive officer (GCEO), Madoda Mxakwe, should be held personally liable for the broadcasting of a wrong recording of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s address to the nation about the scourge of gender-based violence earlier this month.

So says a 20-page memorandum, written by two SABC board members to the other members, in which they motivate for action to be taken against Mxakwe.

They list the broadcast, together with mounting unfavourable labour case outcomes and allegations of irregular appointments of expensive contractors, among their grievances

...

“Dr Socikwa called me and other board members, wanting to share a brilliant idea she had. I then invited other board members to listen to her idea. She claimed to have done this with some SABC executives previously. Upon listening to her, it turned out that the idea was about us giving government ministers free access to the SABC news platforms, in exchange for political mileage,” the letter reads.

“This was immediately rejected by all board members, with a view that it was dangerous to the independence and impartiality of the news operation.”

People falling for that would portray Ramaphosa as some dictator who rules with an iron fist, just let it go, it's no big deal, give those who messed up warnings and move on.

If only he ruled with a iron fist.

If only he ruled with a iron fist.

Then he'll be accused of being a Frog Boiler, I prefer him exactly the way he was intended to be.

Interesting comment. Tbh, if anything it made him slightly more human and believable. Seems South Africa has an official propaganda station. Since pre-'94 nothing has changed, has it? What we are seeing from the SABC is a mentality that would do Stalin proud. HTF can people be so brainwashed? SABC just need to die fast.
