SABC: who's for the chop?

11 Oct 2010 07:04Submit a commentBizLike
NEWSWATCH: So... who's next at our national broadcaster to be fired... hired... dropped... chopped... suspended...defended? Today, the board is to meet again to discuss the Robin Nicholson issue, reports Business Day. Meanwhile, SAFA is most miffed after the SABC managed to not broadcast the Sunday night fixture between Bafana Bafana and Sierra Leone in Freetown, reports IOL.
For more:
  • Business Day: Move on acting CEO deepens SABC crisis... It looks like Robin Nicholson could be in that paradoxical situation of being on thin ice and in hot water simultaneously after the board decided to ask Communications Minister Siphiwe Nyanda to amend the broadcaster's articles of association so that it, the board, could get rid of Nicholson. Regarding alleged instructions from his department to the SABC to get rid of Nicholson, Nyanda has apparently denied any such order... of course.
  • IOL: Safa irked by absent broadcast... Suppose you played an international but your national broadcaster failed to turn up to record and broadcast every star turn and expert dribble... Can't happen? Oh, it can - unsurprisingly the team is Bafana Bafana, and even more unsurprisingly, the broadcaster is... you've guessed it - the SABC.
