Two new SABC heads of news were announced on Friday, 11 February 2011. They are Jimi Matthews for TV and Mike Siluma for radio.

Matthews previously held the position of head of TV news at the SABC and moved on to work for Telkom Media. He is an experienced broadcast journalist, having worked for several local and international news networks, including Reuters and the BBC.

Siluma is a seasoned journalist and editor with local and international experience in the media. He was recently the MD of Jacaranda FM and is the chairperson of the National Association of Broadcasters.
