SABC chasing ghosts

The South African Broadcasting Corporation's (SABC's) News division has embarked on a process of hunting and eradicating "ghost workers" on its payroll using selfies, TV with Thinus reports.

While in other news.... Haven't the SABC been chasing ghosts a long time?........

Well that's a relief would hate the SABC to be wasting my TV license fee

Nothing a Streetwise Five cannot sort out as a bribe.

I hope that all of the 'ghost' workers TV licence payments are up to date...

I wonder how many clowns they have to wade through before they get to the ghosts.

"Household levy" sounds like the hut tax levied by the poms when they ran things

Actually, thats a good idea. Throw a fake year end party for all the "staff", free KFC and Whiskey, once they are all in, close the doors and ask for ID

Do SABC employees pay their TV license?

 

[Skerminkel]

I don't understand the issue. By definition "freelance contractors" are paid for the work they complete. They do not earn a salary. If you get the product, you pay for it.
Why does it matter that there are "ghost" freelancers. If managers are paying people for not delivering work they are the ones to be prosecuted.

Do SABC employees pay their TV license?

Only if they want to watch cr@p. Otherwise they pay DSTV or streaming services.

Eish. When managers can’t account for their staff, that’s ridiculous. Shut it down already!

This is most of our government lol. I bet only 20% of the payroll employees actually work...

There are tons of government departments few have heard of. Ever heard of the Moral Regeneration Movement? Begun by Thabo Mbeki, they have staff, offices, cars and a budget. The public is almost completely unaware of them:

Chairperson of the Moral Regeneration Movement, Father Smangaliso Mkhatshwa gave a contextual history of the work of the Moral Regeneration Movement over the years and called on it to be streamlined across all departments and provinces in South Africa, especially at municipal level.

Apparently a LOT more in the USA than we have here in SA...

Seems the only thing the terrorists managed to do was mess up a entire country and loot billions nothing else. Oh and the difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is that a freedom fighter does not attack civilian targets.
