SABC bill approved

The controversial Broadcasting Amendment Bill was approved in the National Assembly on Tuesday amid promises by the opposition to petition President Thabo Mbeki on the matter.

I believe the ANC might have good intentions on this one, but the fact that they use a bulldozer to kill a fly is alarming...

The door is indeed wide open for abuse now.

I believe the ANC ultimately just want the power to control the content broadcast on SABC.

Ahhh the good old propoganda machine at work. Clearly the ruling party wants more control over the public broadcaster. Why else would they do this?

I don't even watch the SABC news anymore - its so damn bias.
